NCLEX After 5 years

Published

Hey everyone. I obtained my nursing degree 5 years ago. Due to serious health issues I could not take the NCLEX. Does anyone know which states allow someone to take the NCLEX years after graduation? Thank you.

You will have to contact the BON for the State.  You will probably have to do some leg work.  Some States you will need a refresher, some may not allow you at all.  Check the requirements for the State(s) you are looking at.

Also, you will need to then consider where you want to work,some places may want you to have taken a nurse refresher as well.
