A fourth attempt would only be permitted under the most extenuating of circumstances. To the OP, we're all very sorry for your losses but unless the death of a family member occurs within a day or two of the exam date, the College would expect the candidate to have both the time and the critical thinking skills to withdraw from the exam on the scheduled date. Having been through the process twice already, they would expect you to know that. It comes down to accountability. Unfortunately they're not going to have all that much symapthy, sad though the situation is. Using that as a mitigating factor for a third unsuccessful attempt will likely be viewed as making excuses.
To each of you who has been unsuccessful three times, you're going to really have to want to be a practical nurse to go through the process of redeeming yourselves and only you know if you're capable of pushing through. Best wishes.

The NCLEX is for RN licensure.You would not qualify for any licensure in the US without a valid Canadian license.
there is a nclex pn exam and im pretty sure you need to have graduated from an approved program in some states to apply for licensing in other states you would have to be licensed int eh jurisdiction in which you where educated so you may want to look into this further if your interested in relocating. good luck
With no Canadian license you would not be able to write the NCLEX PN exam.Highly doubtful if they failed ours three times they would pass that one either.

Not all states require a Canadian license so it may be possible however the stumbling block is working in the US and meeting NAFTA requirements and I do not think LPN will meet requirements for NAFTA

Why didn't you seek help after failing the second time? Obviously, if you failed twice then you knew there was a problem with either your nursing knowledge or english comprehension skills.
The CPNRE is not a difficult exam unless your english comprehension is lacking or you did poorly in school.
If english is not your first language you should take english upgrading classes at the college level. Take an english literature class to increase your english vocabulary and comprehension skills.
As for the NCLEX....I was educated in the US and can tell you that the NCLEX is far more difficult than the CPNRE.
