How many tries did it take you to get your nusing lisence?
Do u think academic grades or clinical grades have any reflections on how people do on board exams?

Thank you in advance.

oops, sorry for the misspel of license!

One of my instructors used to tell us that if we struggled through nursing school, we would have trouble with the boards.

Out of my class, the only people that I know of that failed the NCLEX first time around were those who had failed the program once before and had returned. They continued to struggle the rest of the time we were in school.

I'm not saying this is always the case, but that's just my experience.

once. 76 questions. done in 30 minutes. freaked til I received my license in the mail 3 weeks later. this was in 1997. roughly 84% only take one time to pass the NCLEX-RN.

One time only!! Back in 1988, we didn't have the computer test. Sat in a huge auditorium in one hundred degree heat for 2 days! Many folks ended up passing out on the floor!
Yikes!! This almost sounds like stories my Grandpa would tell me how he had to walk 40 miles to school each day!!

Once, but I had to take the 2 day, fill in the dot, wait three months to find out if you passed test. Talk about stress.

The other stressor was our school had a 100% pass rate going for several years, and no one wanted to be the one to mess up their streak.

DOOD you blew em away!

[Anagray]

Wow, you did wonderful! I hope I will be as lucky.

I work with a girl who failed her bords 2 times already, but she is an *excellent* nurse. They had to bump her down to LPN, but she still does everything she did before with minor adjustments.

I'm hoping i will pass my boards the first time and I'll study, but I decided to parepare for the fact that I may fail.

It only took me the one time thank goodness. 75 questions is all I did. My boards were taken on the computer at a Sylvan Learning Center. I think that how you performed in nursing school will affect how well you do on the boards. In that same sentence though I have met a few people who were A/B students, but failed the boards. Just review your NCLEX books or whatever and breath deep and take the test. There is absolutely nothing you can do about "how you may have done" once you walk out.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!! You'll do fine!
