Hey all!

I graduate nursing school May 6th and will be starting my internship June 19th. What is the earliest you guys have taken the NCLEX? I'd like to take it as soon as possible so I'm not having to worry about it during my internship. I've noticed that some people have waited for a month or two before taking it and I was wondering if that was from choice or if the test wasn't offered until then. THANK YOU

Could you get a earlier date if you wanted? The reason I ask is the dean from my school hasn't even sent out our transcripts out yet....monday hopefully (we graduated May 6th). I move to texas on June 11th and start my internship on June 19th. I need to have my internship done prior to june 19th.I'm thinking if I get my ATT by the end of next week that gives me roughly 3 weeks before I start my job. Do you think Pearson will offer me a date within that period....

The 25th was the earliest I could test in the area I live (North Texas). As of two days ago, all spots until 6/12 were already filled. It really depends upon the area that you will be moving to & how many testing centers vs nursing schools are in that area. Good luck with getting a test date!

I'm taking it 3 days after graduation, May 30th. I figure I can continue to review Saunders until graduation, and then have it over with while things are fresh :). My RN orientation doesn't start until June 12th, and I like the idea of having a little time off where I don't have to fuss about NCLEX.

Well, at first I thought you were crazy thinking you could get your ATT so fast, but I graduated on Thursday May 18th and got my ATT on Tuesday morning May 23rd-so it's possible! I could have taken the test this month, but chose to take it later.
