I graduated in 2010 and took the exam January 2011 which I failed. Too much was going on in my life and I needed to get out of a terrible relationship. I took this exam a total of 3 times under stress and kept on failing. I really needed to get out of the relationship but I couldn't because I had a child and couldn't support myself. I ended up being pregnant after doing the exam for the 3rd time. The abuse was over the edge when I was 3 months pregnant so I made up my mind to head to a shelter with my son. College of Nurses had mailed me but I didn't get that mail until after I had my baby in the summer. I called them and asked what could be my next step and the lady told me they closed my file. Even though I explained my situation there was no empathy or sympathy. She told me I had redo the RPN program from the beginning. I was thinking after all that money spent and I have to start from scratch??? This obstacle in my life has left me depressed and stressed out, it makes me breakdown and cry sometimes. I didn't see my life being like this at this age (28), I wanted better. I don't know what else to do. I am thinking of doing the RN program but I have been so discouraged, I don't even know if I will be ready to do that. Can someone suggest the next steps or best options available? Is the NCLEX exam available if you had already failed the Canadian exam and is it just to practice in the US? Thank you :)
