I took the Kaplan course and I scored very well, but I did not pass. It could have been anxiety that caused the mental block. I went to a tutor that was highly recommended. I did not think I would like her because she was abrupt and to the point. I passed with the min. Questions. She told me it wasn't that I didn't know the info, it was that I had little confidence in my knowledge so I over thought everything. Try not to be hard on yourself. Being a working LPN you have the knowledge, but your self confidence has taken a kick. Don't give up. Test in a different facility, and find a program or tutor that is different than what you have already done.

People are not always wise when they talk and they don't think about how the person you are talking to will take what you say. To say to someone who feels down after failing their boards several time that they should look for another career is cruel and unthinking. Life and circumstance can cause people to be emotionally distracted and make unwise decisions that they would not normally chose if they were not upset. I failed my boards 3 times, however, I was dealing with the death of my son, 2 nephews and 1 niece. Give yourself a chance. You may need to go to a tutor to make sure your fast critical thinking is on track.
