Okay I have a situation allnurses.com. I took the NCLEX three times and I have failed. So I decided to go at it again in 2010. However, I have since gotten into some criminal trouble in 2009 that was due to my part. the felony will be reduce to a misdemeanor on 11/2/10. I completed all of my probational items. Well, I proceeded to apply for licensure again in the state of Indiana. After disclosing my criminal background, I was summon for a hearing. I went to the hearing and was denied the opportunity to sit for the exam not b/c of my criminal hx bt b/c I am not competent enough to pass the exam? what is that!!!! they did not even give me a chance to prove myself. i was in the room and Im hearing all kinds of criminal acts and the panel awarded them their licensure or the opportunity to sit for the exam. I mean before coming into the hearing, I was taking the Kaplan course again, studying, doing remedial courses, and motivating myself to take the boards. My heart was crushed when the panel said i could not sit for the exam. I was expecting probation or something--not denial! What do I do? Do I give up or keep trying. They did say I could reapply but I think he was just saying that and meaning we will still deny you. What to do? What to do?

Thanks cute_nurse24, I really need all the help I can get. I am a married wife with three kids. I work full-time and I am currently in school pursuing a degree in management. I figure this would help me, once I get my license, for future goals. I know it is going to be hard starting to study for the NCLEX again but I know i have to make some sacrifices. I just do not know where to start. I have been browsing through the Sauders book again, and I lost the disk to my Kaplan course. I guess I have to pay for the Q-bank all over again. I am just lost. I was going to try Suzanne's plan but I read today that it is close. If you could help me I would really truly be in your debt. You can reach me by this website or my personal email at I figure i will give myself three months to study for the boards, but i need a study plan. I don't want to study everything from everywhere. I just need a strategic plan that will be helpful and adaptable to my studing techniques. For some reason, I have a hard time answering the questions, however, when I took the Kaplan course i did alright on the training categories and the mock NCLEX exam. Unfortunately, it was not enough for the NCLEX. My mind is always wondering during the test. Any help is appreciated. I thank God that someone is out there willing to help people like me. Thank you so much. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I'm so proud to hear of your success. I will be preparing to test again for the 4th time. I took about a year off in order to focus. I am glad I ran upon on your post. I am more motivated and inspired by your courage. I depended on the Suzanne's Plan but now they have stopped that. I guess I am on my own now. I am so scared but I know I have to do this. God has not brought me this far for nothing. Nursing lives within me. It is all I dream, think, and hope for. I pray for the moment when my time has come to announce that "I Passed" my boards. Please keep me in your prayers and any advice is helpful. Thanks

Keep your heads up future nurses. I'm with you all. I too have failed the exam three times but I'm going to attack it again next year.

Hi, I'm back and rejuvenated. To respond to your distress. I took the NCLEX three times already and failed. I lost the confidence to retake it so i took some time off to mentally prepare myself for the battle again. Silverdragon is right, don't base your last question on the success of your exam. I did that and I was disappointed but I'm quite sure that you will not be. Stay positive and keeping striving for the best. Good Luck future RN.

in the past I've been reviewing each chapter in the 3rd Saunders book, took Kaplan course, reviewing the Flashcards I bought from a website, answering questions from the Kaplan test takers, doing qbank and scoring fairly well. I don't know nothing more that I can do. Everyday I make sure I answer 100 questions and writing down my rationales to the ones I missed. But when I'm in front of the test I just panic. I know I know the information b/c if it was an oral test. I would pass it in a heartbeat. this time I need some serious help. I was told that Suzanne your plan works.

Congratulations:yeah::yeah:

I took the test three times. my last test date was July 2. i got alot of SATA and 265q. My candidate report showed near passing on most areas except Reduction of Risk Potential. I got above passing on Health Promotion and Maintenance. Any advice?

hi backtothefuture, im in the same predicament as you. this will be my fourth time testing. i graduated in 05. i can't get a job even as a CNA b/c im not certified as a nursing assistant. its like i have to start all over and go to school again. i cant take refresher course b/c you need license. i don't get it. what is left for people in positions such as ourselves. i spend every dime i get taking care of my bills, kids, and paying for nclex and preparation. i so exhausted and stressed out but being an RN is all I dream of. i just pray to God that this fourth time around will be my time. Im going to use Suzanne's plan and leave the negativity behind me and believe in myself. i know i can do it all i have to do is remove the distractors and focus on my weakness. May God bless you and I will pray for you.

Congratulations calgrlRn, i took my test on July 2 with 265q and I failed. my thing is that it was hard for me to determine which patient to assess first. i had about 3 math questions and a lot of SATA. any advice for the next time will be helpful.

thank you all for your kind words and prayers. i will take some time off and try suzanne plan the next go round. i refuse to give up. im destiny to become and RN no matter what. now i just have to focus on how to finance my endeavor career as an RN. thank you all. any help from anyone would be helpful. thank you again. you're all in my prayers. god bless you

omg help me. i thought this time i would've passed. this is my third time taking the exam and still i'm not an RN. What a 4th of July celebration this is for me. to find out that i didn't pass the exam. i feel like i'm loosing my mind. i don't know what to do now. why can't i pass this exam. i read all the postings people put on this website and they pass but why can't i. omg help me. i feel like dying.

hi guys, i took the NCLEX yesterday and Im in the 265q club. It was the longest 6 hours of my life. I feel all the emotions that you all are feeling but I'm just gonna believe that I passed because has not failed me and he is not gonna fail me now. It is my time and I'm claiming my RN status!

Good luck! I take mine on the July 2. Let us know how it went.:heartbeat
