I hate to bother you with a question that may already on the boards, but....Are there disqualifiers that would prevent an individual from sitting the NCLEX? I want to get into nursing after I get out of the military, however I do have a police record. I do not have any felonies. I was honest and up-front with everything when I joined the military. I have now been in service for almost 4 years and currently hold a SECRET clearance. None of my offenses were of a violent nature, and offenses are over 5 years old. It will be at least another 1.5 years before I could even think about taking the NCLEX. I have not been able to get ahold of TNBON yet. I have numerous supervisors that have volunteered to write reference letters for me.
Sorry for such a long post, but I will be returning to Middle TN soon and want to join the nursing community.
The big problem is I don't want to spend the money to attend a nursing program then come to find out I can't even sit the NCLEX.
