How long after graduation did you take the NCLEX?

Published

I know it really depends on each individual person and their study habits, but I'm curious how long after graduation did you take the NCLEX? Pass/fail? Pros/cons?

(We are trying to plan a post graduation/pre Nursing job trip, and I'm trying to figure out a general time frame)

I graduated July 2015 and the soonest available date to take NCLEX was in Sept. So...2 months after graduation. I think it's best to take it as soon as possible after graduation.

I graduated May 2015. Didn't get my ATT until the middle of August. Took the NCLEX Sept. 17 and failed. I used the NCSBN RN Review-3 weeks. Retook it November 4 and passed. :)

I took the nclex 3 months after graduating. I studied for about 4-6 weeks before taking the test and passed the first time.
