Can you take food to the NCLEX?

Published

I take mine tomorrow morning (4/6/06) and I wonder if I could carry those little snickers in my pocket to give myself a little pick me up now and then.

Hi Mama!

We had to empty our pockets and take our jewelery off before. They told us no food or drink during the test. I could safely tell you that they will not allow you to eat in the testing center. eat breakfast beforehand and you should be fine.

If you have a medical condition that requires you to eat regularly, ask the receptionist if you can eat one of the snickers on break.

Good luck to you on your journey tomorrow!

Hi and good luck to you! I took mine on Thursday and found out on Monday that I passed!!!It took me one hour. I thought that I had failed.......anyways, you should have gotten a bunch of papers with the rules of the test site and info about the test itself. When you get there, they will make you empty your pockets and lock up your stuff. Those computers are expensive you know. And they don't want any chance for cheating.

Good Luck to You!!

Our school encouraged us to take snacks. The testing center will have a locker for your belongings- you can put the snacks in there and access them on a break. Peanut butter crackers and cheese cubes are good things to take. If you are only going to be there an hour you wont need a snack; but if you end up taking 5 hours then you will want to take a break and munch. They can't discriminate against someone for hypoglycemia :)

hello,

from my own experience, I was able to bring some snacks. They gave everyone a locker where you can put all stuffs you can't bring inside during the test.Only your ID and locker key was allowed inside during the test.

I was able to take my break and eat my snacks but I was asked to go outside( i meant out in the hallway i had my snacks).....

Pls.. bring snacks if you like, it will help....GOOD LUCK to you!!!!
