Sooo I am a 29 y.o. mother of 2. I graduated nursing school 7 years ago still yet to pass the NCLEX. I take it about 1 a year, i am now studying again to take it. It will be my 6th time and I don't know what to do. I have taken Kaplan and the Anderson review countless times i cannot afford to take the exam every 45 days. I have dreamed of being an RN since I was 11 y.o, in the 6th grade. Anyone know a secret or anyone with a similar story but succeeded? Any suggestions what exactly did you do?
