Need advice, waited too long to take NCLEX

Published

I graduated in March, reviewed for the Philippine board exam until June and after that... definitely took too much time trying to recover from nursing school. Applied for NCLEX in August and since then have been studying on and off because waiting for the ATT makes it feel like I don't have enough pressure to *really* study. And the longer I wait, the less it seems I remember. Any advice for study materials/tips that can help me be ready? I am working full time and target exam date is in or before March 2020.

Specializes in LMT.

Do you know specifically about Italy? are you Italian?

p.s. about your question: reading what other people experience from a page on Facebook, I can see that every state has different waiting time for the results. So it can be from 3 to 6 days.

Good luck!

I can imagine! Some people talk about a trick you can use to figure out the result but I'm not sure how it works.... One I understood is going to the health department website and check if your license is already there.

rnpediyuh, can I ask you something a little off topic?

I see a lot of people talking about NCLEX who lives out of the States. How does that work? Are you in the Philippines now and taking the same NCLEX that people in USA take? I'm asking because I'm originally from Italy and might need to go back after I graduate in the States.

If you trained outside the US then follow requirements on the board of nursing website for international trained nurses. The process usually takes 4-6 months and once you have eligibility from BON you can sit NCLEX at any center that offers the course. If taken outside the US there is usually an extra fee
