Grandfather clause for NCLEX 20

Published

Hey!

So I am trying to see if there is a grandfather clause for NCLEX 2020 as I graduate May 2020 and would take my NCLEX in June 2020. My school has not been teaching us the new format and thus why I ask if there is a grandfather clause because I have spent two years learning the NCLEX 19 format. I don't see how I would pass the new NCLEX format and I am frustrated with this.

Anyone know anything that is relevant to my situation?

No such thing, and its a 3 year test-plan update cycle with last update being 2019 so next is 3/31/2022 assuming RN, PN might be different dates.

So then 2022 is when the entire format of NCLEX is changed to the fill in the blank style? 03/2020 is when they start implementing it in the classrooms?

I am just trying to understand this and make sure what I need to be concerned about when I am studying for my NCLEX.

That should provide you the most up to date info for the exam you will be taking. As a recent test taker, about 1/3 of the 75q were SATA, and there was a heavy focus on "who do you see first". If your current study plan includes those formats your in good shape. I had no fill in the blank other than a single med/rate calc .
