I can challenge either because I have the # of credits required. I actually learned about that from someone who didn't pass med surg 3 and had done it. Her excuse was "I'm not comfortable signing a form from out of state that permits you to take an exam." Meanwhile, the cohort is mostly made of people from out-of-state (including myself) who go back home and sit for their boards. Which means she just doesn't want to do it.

I want to challenge the NCLEX and the board wants a form signed by the DON, verifying that I completed the coursework (which in my opinion is redundant since I have provided unofficial transcript and course descriptions, but oh well), but the DON refused to sign it. Backstory: I moved states right before COVID to attend a direct entry MSN program. I got into a serious car accident and stopped for nearly 2 years. I returned to the program this past January and I just completed semester 4 out of 5 and was supposed to repeat med surg 3 (failed by 2 pts) this Summer, which would have added an extra semester as it needs to be taken alone before moving on. However, a few days prior to the start of the semester, I had to drop the course due to family/health situations. I'm now at $100K deep in student loans. I can't afford to lose everything I've worked so hard for. I felt so relieved to have found that option since I can't find a school to accept my credits. And because the school won't sign the form, I can't sit for that exam. Have you ever been in this situation? What did you do?

Hi, what did you end up doing? My school won't sign mine either.
