Failed NCLEX in Canada 3 times

World Canada

Hello,

I am wondering what other options there are after failing the nclex 3 times in Canada. In Canada we only get 3 attempts. Are there anyone out there that is in the same situation? Are there nothing else we can do except to restart our 4 years of university again? Is there any use to have a nursing degree without a license?

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick nursing regulatory bodies allow unlimited NCLEX attempts.

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

Moved to the Canadian forum.

I have 2 friends that failed 3x as well and were able to write the RPN exam. They both passed on the 1st try. I would call the CNO and do that if it were me.

So can one register in novo Scotia to write the nclex there ? Will the person e allowed to practice in Ontario.

CNO now has unlimited NCLEX-RN attempts, see CNO Q&As about the NCLEX- re-writing the exam

Question "What happens if I don't pass the NCLEX-RN on my first attempt?"

Answer "You have no limit on the number of times you can write the NCLEX-RN until you pass."
