Hi! I'm new to this thread... I have a question that I'm hoping to get answer for. I currently live in NH. I Graduated in 2014 from Nursing school, and have taken the NCLEX 3 times. Unfortunately, I did not pass after taking the ride all the way through 265 questions two times of the three that I took the exam. I have had a fear of taking it again since and just gave up n myself. I realize that it has been some time, but want to take a course through Kaplan to refresh and hopefully take the exam again and PASS! I have stayed in Medical and have been working as a Medical Assistant and need to move on... I'm not sure where I can take the test. I know not in NH. I'm posting here for some help...hopefully there is someone that can lead me in the right direction.

265 questions?????
Wow, I thought it was 165 or around about that.

That was the max prior to COVID. It was reduced during the pandemic and likely will return to normal … one day

If you’re hoping to remain in NH, one option is to pick the closest state that will allow testing in your situation. Once you pass, you call apply for a job at a VAMC in NH or anywhere in the country off that valid license. Best of luck to you!

Try Washington, New Jersey, or even New York! You can test as many times as possible. I know many who have tested through Washington and New York. You can test in your state through those states. You don't have to travel there. Call them or go to their website. All the best.
