HELP! How to Retake NCLEX after failing

6 Posts

I have a few questions if someone who experienced this can answer them.

I failed the NCLEX September, 2017. I do not know how reapplying works since BRN does not answer calls and is vague about the instructions. Prefereably someone who took it in recent months of 2017!

1.) I did my Livescan April, 2017. Do I have to do it again? or is there an expiration date? I heard before that it is good for up to a year if it is for the same reason (NCLEX exam), but I have gotten different answers. BRN has new updates about livescans on the reapply page but it is a blank page clicking into it.

2.) Do I have to wait 45days before applying for the "retake application" on breeze? It does recommend 45 day period and wait for approval, but i dont know what they mean to wait for approval..

I was just thinking since I have to wait for two weeks for them to give me "eligibility notice" through mail, can I just pay so I am good to go when 45 day is up.

Retaking the NCLEX is alot of money and I dont want to risk it. I am unemployed, studying NCLEX. Please help answer these questions! quite lost and defeated by this exam.
