What can i do with an associates degree in nursing without passing the nclex?

CNA (or whatever the position is called in your state for 'certified nursing assistant'). You wouldn't even be able to be an LPN/LVN b/c you'd have to take the exam for that license. I had a friend who failed the NCLEX at least 4 times after graduating from nursing school (a VERY expensive private school at that) and she was still working as a CNA. I don't think she ever did bother trying to pass it.

However, I recommend a good review program like Kaplan to get you prepared for the boards (the sit-in class is better than the home-study in my opinion, but do what's best for you). It would be a shame if you couldn't put that nursing degree to work. Hang in there and don't give up!

Checkout http://philippinenurses.blogsp... You will find lots of information regarding NCLEX, Nclex tips, etc. You will also find board exam results posted as well as nclex tips, etc. Report It

this may not be what you want to hear, but until you pass the nclex your nursing degree is practically useless. Hospitals will usually hire you based on the contingency that you will pass your boards within a certain time period. Good Luck

You will probably be able to get a job at a hospital as a PCA/nurse aide/etc. The hospital will expect you to pass your boards and you will probably make half of what you would make as a nurse.
