4 years out & need help with where to begin

Published

I graduated from nursing school 4 years ago. I have one failed attempt at NCLEX- RN. I have hired a tutor, purchased books, taken review courses in the past but wasn't dedicated. I am full of regret for not completing this by now. I am completely overwhelmed and welcome any suggestions and advice. Thank you in advance

Take a refresher course.

Start by confirming with your State Board of Nursing whether you are still eligible to take another NCLEX. Time out of school can impact eligibility in some states. Once you determine you are eligible, enroll yourself in a review course with a solid reputation. Go with a classroom setting, forget about trying to teach yourself with a review book. Usually doesn't work out well. 4 years is a long time to not be studying or practicing, you will need a strong tutoring system. Good luck.
