nclex question

Published

Hi there. I am gearing up for my final semester before I can take the NCLEX to become an RN! I am excited and scared for both this last semester and taking the NCLEX. I am a mom of 5 kids and my husband and I can't wait until there is a second income for our household. In fact, we already have a place that a guy is going to sell us that has a house and 40 acres on it that he is for sure keeping for us until I have a job. (No pressure to pass right?)

My question is this: If a person were to fail the NCLEX is there a time limit they have to wait until they can take it again?

Mind you, I have no plans in failing either Nursing IV or the NCLEX, but I guess I'm trying to find out exactly how much pressure I'm under so that me and my husbands dreams of owning a home and a small farm can come true. LOL I thank anyone who can help answer my question. Thanks in advance!

Good luck to you in everything you do.

Yes, there is a time limit. Here in Florida it's 45 days, but it may be different where you are.

You're welcome. I understand the pressure right before I took NCLEX I moved and got a new place before I had even passed. :)
