I am a Georgia graduated from pn nursing....2013. I was told that you have 5 years to take the test after graduation but now they say it's 3 years. Is there any way around this or anything I can do?

There isn't any way "around" a regulation if that's what it is. You need to know definitively from the Georgia Board of Nursing what their maximum allowable time between graduation and taking the NCLEX is. If you're still within the time frame better get to studying! If you've exceeded it, you'll need to ask them what you need to do next. Some kind of refresher course, or a complete re-take of school? They should be able to help you as this must come up from time to time and you need the facts from them, we can only guess.
Good luck.
