How long must you wait to retest if you fail NCLEX-PN

Published

Hi, I shouldn't have such a negative attitude so soon...I am testing in 2 weeks, just want to know how long, if I do fail, which I pray I don't, I would have to wait to retest? I live in CA. If it is too long I may just reschedule and give myself a little more study time...but I am also so anxious to get it over with. I have waited soooo long already to test. :confused:

Cross that bridge if and when you come to it. The instructions you will receive with your results will tell you. But instead, expect to receive positive results and you won't have to be bothered with retesting. Good luck.

But yes, I will trust that I will pass it the first time!
