NCLEX in HongKong

lawrence01 · Dec 19, 2005

Hello There!
Is there anybody available there to advice me on NCLEX exam in HongKong. This, I understand is one of the overseas locations where you can sit the exam? What I was curious about is; how often is the exam given? Where in HongKong is the exam centre? I have a rather tight timeframe and a short holiday and I would like to plan in advance as much as possible. HongKong would be the closest exam centre to me at the time I need to be sitting the exam.
Thank You in advance. Geena

Do you already have your Eligibility letter from your State BON? Once you have this you can register in http://www.pearsonvue.com. They will be the one who will be giving the Authority to test (ATT). $200 for registration and another $150 for scheduling in HK. When you pay on-line (card) you immediately get your ATT via email and another one mailed after 7-10 days. Schedule ASAP because they are usually full for the current 1-2 mos. You can resched and cancel anytime (at least 24 hours before exams). Only 15 slots for HK test center. Best of luck. :)

Thank You so much! I already have the eligibility letter from NYBON so I guess I'll make the big step of Pearson then! :balloons:

Hi Lawrence01!

How do you schedule for HongKong? Is it true that you have to call them? How do you pay the $150 fee? I already registered with Pearson Vue. I am thinking of taking the exam on the last week of February or early March. Haven't had the time to study yet.

Thanks!

Yes. You have to call them to sched. They have a toll-free number specific for each country your calling from. Forgot the #. Its in the website in contacts.

If your paying via credit card you just have to give your card details. Don't worry its safe and they will email you a receipt/acknowledgement so your sure that they received your payment. Sched ASAP just to have a sure slot 1st. You can resched and cancel anytime. :)

OK...it's me again! And feel scared!!!! So I will register at Pearson-vue first and then call HK centre and request for a slot? One would have to sit the exam within 3 months of registering with Pearson? In fact my R&R will only be after 12 weeks from New Years so I would have to hold on for a few more weeks before registering with Pearson? Am I following or did I lose it again... :uhoh3: Thank You guys! Geena

Yes, you are correct. You have 90 days after registering with Pearson-Vue to take the exam.

Geena, BSN, RN · Dec 19, 2005

Thank You Suzanne! Then hypothetically, if I register with Pearson to sit at the end of March and for one of those reasons; my R&R will be postponed for like a week or what ever might happen and I fall outside the 90 day rule. Will I then need to do the whole thing again with NYBON, new CVS etc. I also have the pressure of hitting the one year rule from the time of application. Gosh, sometimes I really hate my employer... the 'Institution of Constant and Rapid Changes'...

No, just pay the fee again to Pearson-Vue, another $350. But remember you can take the exam in many other locations, depending on where you will be travelling to. The exam is available in Guam, Saipan, Hong Kong, and Seoul for SE Asia, as well as London if you are in Europe.

The Hong Kong center actually fills up first, so you many need to try one of the other centers to accomodate your request.

Ahhh...rather a relief, what about my timeframe of one year with NYBON?

Is that also another fee for keeping application current?

I am getting so stressed with the pending NCLEX and would need to do it asap, just my other commitments seem to toss me the other direction.

Thank you Suzanne for the info. Geena
