Is putting my n-clex "score" on a resume a bad idea?

Published

I know the n-clex is pass or fail, but I passed in a pretty short amount of time and at 76 questions (I believe the minimum is 75), is this something I could mention on my resume?

I'm thinking it's a bad idea, but it can't hurt to get other opinions :)

You'll be the topic of talk at the watercooler if you do.

Very funny RUAS 61 :)

Please do not put your score on your resume!!

I will emphasize that again: don't go there!! No one cares. The next person in line behind you to interview could have passed in 264 questions but might get the job. better to put "CNA experience, RN license, nursing school honor, blah blah blah" on there. the most impressive resumes highlight special skills and great references in one-page. best of luck to you

I wouldn't do it. It is the same as someone stating that they got a 98% in the class boasting above the person who "only" got a 95%. An "A" is an "A", and a pass is a pass.
