Hello all! I am taking my NCLEX-PN here in CA tomorrow and just wanted to pass along some encouraging numbers. Looking at how high the first time test taker pass rate (US educated) is what has been helping me get through my overwhelming moments of anxiety these past two weeks. Hope this will help any others who are nervous about taking their NCLEX for the first time :) Good luck to all!

You have to remember that the passing line was increased in April 2013, so the current pass rates are likely several percentage points lower than those listed there.

Please note it was the RN NCLEX that changed not PN and regardless with good study and confidence many can and do pass

PN passing standards are up for review and if changed will start 2014

I've always told people, you have a better chance of passing than not.

NCSBN has always said 85% of first time testers (US educated) pass. PN and RN :)

85 to 15 odds is pretty good :)

Best of luck to you.
