If you failed 3 times RN NCLEX in CA

Published

By a new law if you failed 3 times RN NCLEX in CA, you can't take your test again for the next 3 years. It is true? Is it only for CA?

Specializes in ICU.

Hmmm. Never heard of it. I have heard someone's been taking NCLEX 6x already but not once that I heard them about it.

Yup, also never heard of it. And that's unreasonable..

That would be ridiculous. After spending so many years in a nursing school you would have to wait 3 years? But I heard that from a very smart friend of mine. And now I am worried, because I failed 2 times.

Have you looked on their website or contacted anyone at the BON and ask? Always better to get it from the horses mouth rather than listen to hearsay

I just read the test plan and didn't see anything like this in it.

I did not call because I am not in CA. But anyway, thank you for your responses! I will tell it to my friend.
