Curious...how many attempts did it take you to pass NCLEX?

[klone, MSN, RN]

Just wondering.

Just one, thank goodness! Way back in the old days, using paper and pencil.....when there was no such thing as Pearson Vue.....

Try & get into a Hurst Review live workshop in your city. I have several friends who passed with flying colors with Hurst Review. I plan on doing it to make sure I pass the first time!

One. Thought it was easy.

Just one, back in the old days, when it was called the "boards".

I passed on the first try for both RN and LPN with min. questions.....

[TheCommuter, BSN, RN]

I passed NCLEX-PN on my very first attempt in December 2005 after having answered the minimum of 85 questions.

I passed NCLEX-RN on my very first attempt in May 2010 after having answered the minimum of 75 questions.

85 percent of all US-educated nurses pass on the first attempt. Although the overwhelming majority of test takers pass the first time around, it's the candidates who fail NCLEX multiple times who capture our attention spans and fill our imaginations because they make themselves known.

The OP who started this thread is already a nurse with no need to pass NCLEX.

Once. And the latest stats show that 85% pass on the first attempt.

Just once, thank goodness.

Taking a guess that we're not going to be hearing much from those who took several shots at it....
