Hi

I am look for help or guidance right now

I graduated from nursing college back in 2017. I live in Texas and my board of nursing is Texas. After 4 years your time limit to pass NCLEX goes away in Texas, so my time limit pass I longer can take NCLEX exam in Texas. I recently find out there is not any remediation course offered in and you need to go to college and re do the whole nursing program again in order to get another 4 years of eligibility in Texas. So, I change board of nursing and I finally got a board of nursing approved my application and they let me allow to register with Pearson Vue and schedule exam with them. But sometime after Covid started my college shutdown and college code I got while college open no longer work. As I was able to get and find new college code for exam. But after entering code this code only works with Texas of board nursing and not new State I just changed to. I need help from anybody who can help me in this situation. I really lose and I don’t know what to do right now. Someone please helps me.

There is very little that anyone on an anonymous message board can do to help you. Can I ask why you waited 4+ years after graduation to take the NCLEX? Honestly, being out of school for 5 years, and not practicing in nursing, I would say it's highly unlikely that you would be able to pass the NCLEX, so your best option may in fact be to retake the program.

Hey there Joseph, I'm kind of in the same boat as you but not really. I graduated from a program in Florida but I am registered with NYBON, long story short my School closed its program and I just recently tried to register with Pearson vue only to find out that my school's code does not work and my school isn't listed at all. I called Pearsonvue and they informed me that since I was registered with NYBON they would give me a "CLOSED PROGRAM" code to test, when I entered the code it is for NY not FL. I was confused since I went to school in FL, I informed them that I went to school in FL but they said it doesn't matter as long as I'm registered with NYBON that I would have to use that NY "CLOSED PROGRAM" code not a Florida "CLOSED PROGRAM" code. I share this just to say maybe it was a mistake that they gave you a school code for TX and not the state your registered in. I will be reaching out to NYBON just to double check this information and will keep you update. I will keep you in my prayers because going to school again for something as difficult as nursing and actually complete it is a great accomplishment and one of the hardest besides slaying the NCLEX Beast. In gods name you won't have to go though that again.

@klone I know you most likely didn't t mean to say anything to harm but speaking from someone who has seen many people pass NCLEX after taking it 8-9xs and even 7+ years after being out of nursing school I will kindly disagree with you. there nothing you can't do as long as you put you heart, mind and hard work into. I don't thing our fellow friend here needs to hear this negativity. Nothing is "unlikely" in the name of GOD.

@Joseph Matthews So I just got off the phone with NYBON and they just confirmed what Pearson VUE told me.So what ever state you are registered in regardless of the state you went to school in you should be using the registered state's code. For instance, If you registered with Ohio you would use a "CLOSED PROGRAM" code for OHIO not Texas. Have you contacted your BON to see what their take on this is ?

@Joseph Matthews so since you registered with NYBON you should be using the NYBON "CLOSED PROGRAM" code.

@Joseph Matthews Hey Joseph, I paid Pearson Vue Wednesday and today I got my ATT. So definitely use the NYBON code. It works ! Good luck on your studies.

@HashtaggAngel did you get to take your exam and get your license?

So I was informed by Pearson that a rare "technical error" occurred with my exam (NCLEX-RN) so that's why my results are not available (I tested Friday and it is now Monday afternoon). Has this ever occurred to anyone else before? If so, how long did it take for you to get results or did you have to just take the test again? I'm stressing so bad over here ?
