Accommodations for NCLEX

Updated:   Published

Hello! My name is faria. I'm taking my board end of this month. I have taken NCLEX 6 times and unfortunately I haven't passed! I'm not upset. Every time I have failed NCLEX it made me stronger!

My friend suggested that I get accommodations (doctors order) for my test, which I wasn't aware of. She had accommodations when she took her boards exam. She recommended that I had 3 hours of extended period of time and a private, which will help me tremendously. I spoke with my doc and after 3 months she wrote me accommodation letter.. which I picked it up yesterday!

On the letter it said, I have anxiety and panic attacks. She also put under pressure my symptoms get worse. I have anxiety but I don't think I have panic disorder! She didn't type on the letter how many hours of extended period I need and she didn't even typed I needed a private room! 

I forgot to mention that she typed me a letter before and the boards denied it because she only put that I need accommodations for my condition!

I know the board needs a more detailed letter ... so my question ?‍♀️...
Is sending the accommodations to the board a smart move? Will I get my license if I pass the test? 

I'm scared because...
1) They might not let me sit for boards.
2) or, They may not allow me to be nurse (license) because of what the letter states - have panic attacks and anxiety. Who would wanna give me a license if I have anxiety & panic disorder.

IDK if my question makes sense! Sorry if this is confusing. 

I passed my NCLEX finally on the 18th! Without accommodations 

Congratulations! What do you think was different this time?

Thank you so much! I took a lot of breaks, I had coffee ️ before I was drinking a lot of water. & I did 3 tutoring session by mark klimek. & was thinking like mark klimek the whole test LOL.
