Yes I did. I ended up testing through Indiana. They had 3 year limit. I passed first try.

I called the Michigan board of nursing and they recommended I go through a different state and then apply for a license by endorsement. I am going to go that route. I will make more calls before I make my decision as to which state. I may do a live review before the day but I cannot affird to redo it all. I have been studying all along to keep it fresh.

Because of finances and a lot of home repairs I was unable to take it. I plan on doing the research I just put this question up while at work to see if anyone knew.

I am 2 years out of school and michigan has a time limit of 2 years to take and pass the NCLEX-PN. I called The state board and they recommend going through another state to avoid going back to school. What states do not have a time limit that I can go to and take my test?

What exactly is a brain book? I keep seeing people talk about a brain book..

I am about to take my NCLEX and provided I pass I will seek a job at the local medical care (for seniors). So my question is this: I want to be ready when I get that first job. What things should I buy? I know comfortable shoes is huge but what else would you recommend for a new nurse?
