Hello, I can tell you what I had done. I graduated from nursing school in texas 2012. I failed the test 3 times but texas only allow us 4 years to take the test anyway life git in the way after 11 years I took the NCLEX July 2023..Now what you can do is transfer everything to a state that allow you to test without having to repeat any classes. I transferred everything to new york because in NY it doesn't matter how long you have been out if school they allow you test as many times as you want as long as you pay that 200.00 dollars. I refused to go back to school. So call new york board of nursing to see if you can transfer everything there so you can test whenever you feel like it or find a neighboring state that would allow you to transfer to their state. But try New York first. Now I have a license in New York and texas..you may have to pay a few but look into it..just a suggestion
