quitters will not be successful... i/ve been out of nursing for 15 years, 'till i came here in the us 5 years ago, from there, i started reading books of nursing in preparation for nclex-rn exam, i kept on trying taking the nclex-rn exam but wasn't successful enough, i chalenge taking the vn/pn, i passed it 3rd time. last 2006. see, keep on reading, believe me, you will get there. pray, so that you'll be encouraged to go on, it helps... god bless! and good luck! i'll pray for you too...

Candy13 we can do it...What I'm saying is I'm in ur shoes too. I went to school 4yrs ago and no license, but I still have hope. You know what we should K.I.T. and support each other. I took the test 3 times. Right now I'm doing Hurst Review, it seems a little overwhelming because I think it's focused on RN, but when I called to register the woman told me LPN's take this class too. Maybe thats' why I feel overwhelmed because I've been out of school for so long. We can Do it!!!!
