Take NCLEX While on Vacation?

Did anyone take the NCLEX while on vacation (in another state)?

How did it work out for you?

Going back, would you have done it the same way?

Where you able to enjoy your vacation at all, or were you completely stressed out?

Thanks! :bookworm:

:o I guess no one wants to take the NCLEX while on vacation....

Hey, I'm taking the NCLEX on vacation. Just visiting the in-laws, but it's in beautiful Vermont, so truly a nice vacation. I have it scheduled for 7/21, which will be the 4th day we are there, but I have 4 or 5 days after that to relax and enjoy the rest of our time there. I am doing it this way so I can get it out of the way and not have it hanging over my head all of my vacation. Howeve, I'm not sure if I will be ready (see my recent post about this). We actually are out of town for the summer (in DC- my usbamd works here) and I just thought it would be easier and less stressful to get to the testing location, which is 3 miles from my in-law's house, rather than the stress of taking public transportation to the testing place in the big, busy city of DC. :-) That way, I can start job hunting right away when we get back, as well as enjoy a little downtime.

But that's just me. In normal circumstances, I don't think I would choose to spend my vacation stressing over the NCLEX, especially if I was going somewhere touristy or where I have never been...
