NCLEX in California

[sitael]

Hi everyone! I'm glad to be here in your community:) . I'm a newly Licensed Nurse here in the Philippines and was thinking of taking NCLEX in California,does anyone have an idea on the schedules of this type of exam? How often does California give this type of exam (NCLEX), is it every month, twice a year...?

they give computer tests everyday. it depends on you. as long as you meet their requirements, paid the necessary fees and they send you your authorization to test...you can schedule your test whenever you want. allow about 5 hours for the test. the computer stops when either you've met the passing score, reached the maximum number of test questions or sadly if you failed. but don't you need to pass the cgfns first?

=sitael] yup, i will definitely take cgfns first, here in the Philippines, I just want to get infos regarding NCLEX ahead of time :). Thanks so much Reyna. By the way, why do I hear some of the Nurses here left the country and took Nclex right away there in the U.S., without taking cgfns? Hope to hear from you again
