odd question

Published

I have an odd question about the NCLEX . I am going to be taking it on Friday and I was planning on wearing a velour hoodie and pants. Am I allowed to wear clothes like that? Or do you haev to dress professional? I dont want to get kicked out for not being dressed appropriately lol.

I would like to ask if we are allowed to bring a bottle of water in the test? I have not done this before, but would like to know.I have this itchy throat,side effect of my medication for BP,so I have to sip water once I felt this.

Just want to know,thanks for any idea.

You can't take a bottle of water in to your exam but you could put a bottle in your locker for use on breaks.

Specializes in LTC, wound care.

The place I went had a water cooler and cups right outside the testing room. You can take a break anytime by raising your hand, the monitor will come in and pause your computer, then when you come back they will escort you back in and re-start you where you left off.

The odd thing about my dress when I took the test was that I wore a long sleeve tshirt. They made me pull up my sleeves to look at my arms. I also was asked to remove my watch. it was an ordinary analog watch with a dial. I guess cheaters are creative, eh?

I had to remove my plain analog watch too. And I had a terrible cold so I had some tissues in my pocket to my sweater and they made me throw them out and take some from their box right before I entered the test. I had to get fingerprinted 3 times and they took palm prints of both my hands AND took my photo. Talk about adding to anxiety going through all that and the little pat-down they give you! Geesh! I was so nerved up by the time I sat down to start the test, I almost forgot my own name. LOL. :lol2:
