After failed three time of NCLEX

First of all, it's a national test, so you haven't failed FLORIDA's NCLEX. Secondly, because of that, it's going to be the same test no matter what state you take it in, switching where you're sitting physically when you take the exam is not going to change anything. It appears that you're not prepared academically to pass the exam, why not go ahead and do remedial training and get yourself really ready to take and pass it?

Is English your first language? Maybe a NCLEX prep class if you're violently opposed to remediation?

In addition to what Bucky just said, you would have to complete the application process for the NY State BoN, and fulfill THAT State's requirements. You aren't applying to take a test, you're asking to become licensed in NYS after successful completion of the NCLEX.

You can check with the NYS BoN in order to be certain that your school meets the requirements, that you have the appropriate Infection Control and Mandated Child Abuse Reporter courses done.

And after all THAT is said and done, Florida does not have to issue you a license by endorsement if they are not satisfied that you should be licensed in Florida. Which would negate this whole Around the World thing in the end, wouldn't it?

And frankly.....it isn't "unlimited attempts" you need, it's better test preparation. Take the remediation, find out why you didn't pass.....and then pass it in Florida!

Wow a little harsh ^. But I also agree. Maybe the material you're studying is not preparing you for this test. I would definitely do the remediation, take some time off, and retake the test in Flordia. Whatever decision you make, just make sure it is worth it in the end BUT DO NOT GIVE UP! Good luck :)

I think you perhaps need to have a look at what you are studying, because it doesnt seem to have prepared you well.

The books with the NCLEX questions are brilliant. I used them alot to help direct my study for states. I have a whole bunch of questions on email that I'd be happy to email to you as well.

In all honestly from a personal POV, I would be somewhat weary of a new grad nurse that had to sit the exam multiple times.

Exactly; you can go to another state and take the Boards, but Florida, I can almost guarantee you, will not endorse your NY RN license unless you fulfill their requirements. Don't you see how the BON in FL would take your actions as unprofessional; maybe even sneaky? You should take the course in FL and pass in your home state.

One question I always get at a job interview is "How many times did it take you to pass the nursing boards. I don't know if the question is legal, but since I passed on the first try I don't mind answering. If you fail in NY, how many more times will you be allowed to take the boards without eventually seeking some type of help.

if you've failed 3 times, don't you think you need some help at this point? I read about people taking the boards 4 and 5 times and it astounds me that there isn't a national p/p in place like FL has.

According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) you can take the boards 8 times a year unless the state you're taking them in has a p/p that dictates a different amount, (I'm shocked surprised afraid). People must adhere to the state policy that's in place because the state's policy overrides the NCBSN's.

Good Luck

I used to work with an LPN who finished up her RN degree 5 years ago. She's taken the NCLEX RN countless times and has yet to pass. At this point I'm not sure how she'll ever do it without a refresher course of some sort

Not harsh at all...it's the truth. Who wants a nurse who tries to do an end run around her state's requirements for licensure?

Exactly. But I didn't want to seem harsh by saying it!

oh, it COULD have been harsh. But it wasn't.

That's interesting, I've never been asked how many times I've taken my boards. I didn't know that actually happened.

I do understand your point of view but I have never heard a patient ask a nurse how many times did you take NCLEX? Also if you've ever had a nurse take care of you how do you know for sure that nurse didn't fail NCLEX numerous times? It just confuses me when I hear a person say "I wouldn't want a nurse taking care*of me who failed NCLEX 3,4, or 5x" In reality you would NEVER know.
