Just took the NCLEX today and they make you read the copyright before the test, after the test and then sent it home with me.

It states
Candidates should be aware and understand that the disclosure of any examination materials including the nature or content of examination items, before, during or after the examination is a violation of law. A violation of this type can result in criminal prosecution or civil liability and/or disciplinary actions by the licensing agency including the denial of licensure.

If you are aware of, or have abserved an attempt to compromise the NCLEX examination process, please reort it to the NCLEX test Security group.

So not only is it a violation of law they can take your LICENSE you just worked so hard to get.

I can't believe that anyone would have the gall to post questions on line or anywhere for that matter. Hopefully karma will catch up with them. I totally agree with Suzanne, it's a disgrace to everything our profession stands for

"including the nature or content of examination items"... I would take this as not only don't discuss the questions word for word, but not to discuss the "types of questions" as well???

I see your point, but keep in mind that the NCSBN publishes the NCLEX Candidate Bulletin which includes the test plan for both PN and RN, breaking down the approximate percentages of questions in (very broad) categories. So it's not like they're trying to keep the question types 100% top secret. I think there's a big difference between someone posting 'I got several med questions' and 'I got six questions about amoxicillin.'

The issue comes when there are actual questions posted and with the four answer choices. And people have done it and there have been boards closed down because of it. And the companies that own the copyright will prosecute and have done so.

Hey suzanne4, didn't want to bother just to let you know that I'm still working with the study plan. Hope your days are good

I can say that i remember questions very well but what did people think they were signing, i couldn't believe when i came on here the amount of questions being placed on the internet for anyone to access. ya great you find out if you got one or two questions right but is that really worth not getting in trouble or losing something you worked so hard to get for a min of peace of mind. watch what you post on the internet anyone can find it. look what parents are trying to protect there kids from on myspace same thing kinda if someone wants to find something they will, including the state.
