What are my options after 3 unsuccessful CPNRE exam?

[lasthope]

Hi everyone,

All nurses and nursing related profession, Please, please help me here with all your intelligent knowledge and information.

Recently, i took CPNRE for third time and i failed. I am now TOTALLY CONFUSED!!

It's not because i am not interested in the profession. In fact, i lost two of my family before i wrote

my first and third test which affected my preparation as well as mental state. Though i did completed

my diploma in Practical Nursing, I am now confused what to do since i couldn't clear the exam. The only

option i can think of are either work now as PSW since i was unsuccessful 3 times

in CPNRE exam.

Does anyone know if i can do bridging to RN despite failing 3 times in CPNRE?

Or, if I want to study RPN again or for RN, is there a way i can do it. How does it work?

Guide me please?? Help me here and God will help you.

You can call, but it might be better to mail or drop off a gentle written reminder that after being unsuccessful with your third attempt of the CPNRE, you are anxiously waiting to hear what your options are and would appreciate hearing from them at their earliest convenience.

bumping up an old thread any news on what happened after failing 3x? did you take any remedial courses

The OP hasn't been on here for 2 years. Iwould assume they have moved on to something else.

why settle for working as a psw if you want to become a nurse? If I were you I would consider a different route to nursing. I would upgrade my RPN college marks and apply to a 4 year university degree program (some universities even offer a sort of bridging to university program that enables ppl form high school or college with less than acceptable marks to upgrade their averages. If they do well in the bridging program they are able to enrol in an undergraduate degree program. you can apply to a general degree such as a bachelor of science, or bachelor of arts and thereafter apply to a compressed second entry RN nursing program once you've graduated your B.Sc or BA. Just make sure that when you write your RN licencing exam you are 100% prepared and confident. There are many different routes to get to where you need to be. Never take no for an answer good luck!

If they can't pass the CPRNE suggesting they go the RN route makes no sense.

Just read your post also in the same boat but where there's a will theres a way dont give up hope I'm not! I'm trying to appeal for compassionite reasons and looking into refresher courses or returning to school and in reference to what that negative RN wrote well don't listen to that if you are determined and truly feel it's in your heart to be an Lpn don't give up I know I'm not! Anyone in saskatchewan in the same boat let me know!

Well done in bring back a three year old thread! The OP has never returned.

This is the most up to date thread I could find on this topic though I'm sure it's not an uncommon one I dunno who this OP is but I know I'm going through something similar though not exactly the same situation.

Hey, just failed my 3rd exam, curious about what the CNO mailed and the steps to take after. Is there any refresher course we can take or any other ways to become RPN. It would be a lot of help if you can share what you did after. Thank you
