I took my test yesterday and I don't think I passed. Immediately, I felt as if I was going to vomit. There were drugs I had never even heard of on there and procedures we only had 1 paragraph on in our books. So, if I failed, how long do I have to wait to retest?

First thing I want to tell you is that you are having a normal Post NCLEX reaction :) Does NOT mean you failed...means you had a very typical NCLEX experience!

But if you must know, the wait time varies from state to state. In some, it's 45 days. In others, 90. You'd have to check with your SBON....but please wait until it's even an issue, ok? ;)
