2013 NCLEX Exam dates

What happened to the exam dates in 2012? Just asking.

NCLEX dates are usually all the year round. A lot will depend on the test center that does NCLEX and how often they open. Some will open Sundays and some don't

I thought that I would have to wait for a certain date to come around once a month or so for the exam, but that is not the case. You get your ATT from the board you are testing for and then you go online to pearsonvue and register to take the exam. Once I got there, it popped up a page with the next week listed and times every 30 minutes during the day to test. It was much simpler than I had anticipated. I got ATT on Friday and registered for NCLEX the following Thursday. It was that easy. You do it when you want to, not at the mercy of the state.

ATT is issued from pearsonvue once they get the OK from the state that you meet requirements. if trained in the US then generally you can register with pearsonvue at the same time as you register with the state BON. If trained outside the US we generally advice you to wait for the BON to give the go ahead to register

I complete my program in May of 2013. Just trying to plan ahead. Is it realistic to pass the Nclex by the summer of 2013 and begin working shortly there after?
