Hi,

I'm thinking of taking my NCLEX in my last semester. Can I do this, or do I need to graduate first?

You have to graduate first.

You have to complete the course first. There are a certain amount of hours required for clinical and class time set by each state. Your transcript has to be sent in to your SBON verifying the amount of hours for both, and the school that you attended. Good luck:)

You Have To Graduate First Because

Your Completion Of Nursing School Is Your Authorization To Test Without Doing So The Nclex Board Cannot Clear You For Testing!
