THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR THE TIPS AND ENCOURAGEMENT. I really need all of them. I finally got hired by a healthcare agency as a Nursing Assistant although it's not certified nor LVN, i just loved it when they call me nurse The agency is sending me to a hospital where I like to work the most (hospital settings). Now, all I need is to focus on my NCLEX to become a real nurse. I need to pass this test, really bad. I feel like this test is holding me to achieve my career goal. Too frustrating! My older sister who's an RN in my home country took NCLEX-RN board to work here in US, she took the test a month before I took my NCLEX-VN...I am so happy for my sister, never seen her for more than 10 years and praying she could find a good employer to petition her and get a working visa to work here in U.S. and that's the only way I could see her again...But, I feel really bad for my result, my family were expecting to have a double celebration but I failed them:crying2: Like I said, on my previous post that I did all the best I can to pass but nothing happens..feels like I am such a loser:down: I read books, memorized, used mneumonics, talk to myself like crazy, answered questions, and even posted materials on the wall What else did i missed? maybe it would help me:confused: to pass my next nclex. I really need help what's the problem why I can't pass this test. I am trying to become strong and fight those negative feelings I have and stay focus to my goals in life. Your tips and encouragements are much appreciated..I never heard those in my life, maybe because I don't like sharing to people on what I feel...:redbeathe

I actually prefer to work in LTC for experience in healthcare. I applied in several LTC but only one called me for an interview; just a week ago i had more than an hour interview.Praised me because i did a good job in the interview BUT then he added that they already hired 2 caregivers :icon_roll Why spend more than an hour interview if the position is already filled in? it was so ridiculous!

,I'm using saunders (book, cd and even flashcards), lippincott flashcards, kaplan and qbanks..I studied really hard and even spent money for a 3 day review center; went to library/bookstore 2-4 hrs a day everyday but it seems that all the hard work I did is not enough ..My friend borrowed my flashcards and passed for the 1st time. And she's always telling me to used the flashcards because it helps her to passed and thank me for lending her those flashcards. I did very well at school but nclex put me down.

I failed nclex 3x. I don't know what to do. This is so embarrassing. I am trying to stay away from my relatives because I hate it when they talk about their successful career, especially when they asked me how's my nclex. I am just telling them that I am still reviewing but they didn't know that i failed not only once but 3x..(lying makes me feel guilty that's why i never attend to any family event that we have, but I guess they already knew because its been 2 yrs since i graduated). Another thing is I am unemployed for 2 years and still looking for a job related to nursing. I used to work in sales and filed a leave of absence so that i can review for nclex to pass, but i'm so unlucky. I am always welcome to go back to my previous job, but just so embarrassed what would my co-workers think about me because they're expecting that I should be working in healthcare field after my LOA. But I really need a job to pay my debts but I don't want to go back in to sales. I prefer a job that is related to nursing but it's so hard to find a job especially i don't have experience in healthcare. Anyone knows what kind of job could an VN graduate do. I applied as caregiver but their are companies that caregivers administer medications without license/certificate and I am scared to do this because I don't wanna take risk of my license in case i passed nclex. I tried nursing assistant but no one wants to hire inexperienced applicants..Any suggestions?
