How many times you can take NCLEX in OHIO?

The website doesn't indicate that there is a limit on how many times you can take the exam just that you have to wait 45 days. Better to think positive rather than negative

It hard to be positive when i have failed it 3 times now haha

first of all, yoy can take that test as long as you want as long as you have the $200 every 45 days. second I did fail 3 times and just passed the fourth time last march. keep studying you will pass and no one will know unless you will tell it is a matter of time. keep saying I will pass

Hi there my name is Marie. I am taking the nclex for ohio too. I took my 2nd try for the nclex last thursday and just found out friday with the pearsontrick and the papertrail from columbus saturday that I didnt pass again for my 2nd try. I'm trying to get back on track and start studying again. I know it is hard and it must be a toil for you since I share the same devastation and disappointed as you do. I am married too to an American, by the way I'm immigrant from the Phils. and still processing for my permanent greencard while trying to get on the nclex. When I got here I only had a temporary green card so right now we just tried to remove the conditions of my greencard and we sort of filed that last june and haven't heard from them yet. However, right now I'm just trying to take on the nclex-rn so I can get a job here. I am unemployed right now. And had to go through all the procedure inorder to take on the nclex...i had to take toef.ibt and cgfns to qualify for the test and it was alot for me. (The req. those exams for foreign national graduates here in ohio). Like you I am sick and tired of studying..it is overwhelming and definitely a toil to our lives. But hey! Don't give up and just keep on going. Study and study ti'll ur confident enough to take on the test. I'll keep telling myself that as well. I'm really glad they put on this website bec. if not for this site i would have given up along time ago and have lost my sanity trying to pass this exam. But with you guys, it made realize i'm not alone. And you are not alone. Ohio is really tough and they're strict with thier rules and reqts. and it's a hard national standardize exam, an exam not to be taken lightly I get that now..since my first take I didn't really study at all and my 2nd take..i dont know I did studied i guess my knowldege and answering skills weren't that well-equit or probably short, I guess there's more for me learn along the way and I needed to work harder yet so I'll try studying and preparing this test again in a differnt angle. I'll try to study for the exam like I've never studied the test ever before, harder than I've ever did. And you should do the same thing...study harder and never give up nor quit my friend. Just keep on going. And if you're not ready to take on the test, don't schedule it ti'll ur confident that you can do it. Go and get married to your love of your life, like I did. And set on the exam when ur prepared... Don't this exam get to you. Well, it normally does, i speak for myself. But, like they said it's just another part of ur nsg. life that has to be accomplished for as to be named as reliable nurses. So dont give up and study hard. I'll do the same thing as well. Congratulations by the way to you and your fiance. Best wishes my friend! (by the way i live here berlin heights ohio where u at? ) Take care sweety! And best wishes again!!!
