Failing NCLEX While Working as a GN

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering what happens to you when you start working as a GN (with a temp permit) in a hospital and taking the NCLEX before the end of the training and FAILING the exam? Will you be demoted to a nurse's aide position? Will your GN position be given to another applicant who has already passed the NCLEX? Will you be given the GN/RN position pending passing the NCLEX? Has anyone been in this situation or any thoughts about it? Thanks!

Check the requirements for your hospital, they may be able to extend the deadline
