Does the Human Resource have the right to ask how many times you took NCLEX

i have never heard of human resource asking about NCLEX and how many times you've taken it. did someone ask this? i think as long as you can sign RN or LPN after your name you are fine.

I see no reason why they would be prohibited by law from asking about how many times you took NCLEX. It's not a Federally protected class of information like religion, race, etc.

That said, I don't see why they would think to ask about it unless you have a gap after graduating from nursing school to explain.

I was about to say that. I have a friend who waited close to a year and a half before sitting for NCLEX-PN, and then another 8 months even before searching for a position. They didn't ask her when she sat for NCLEX, but they did ask why it took her so long to graduate early 2006 and apply for a job last week.

If there is a gap, I would probably make up a creative story about leaving town for awhile and then, re-committing to take serious time to review and pass.

thanks guys

I was never asked. But I do agree with Pagandeva.
