I have a RN license on Vermont that is inactive and was expired March 2011.Since it's a very lengthy process and inconvenient to go to Vermont to take re-entry programs to get my license renewed and then transferred to NJ.Is it possible for me to just take another NCLEX exam here in NJ even if I have an inactive license in Vermont?Hope to clear some things before I make some actions.

Hi.I'm a licensed RN in Vermont but since I haven't practiced nursing since 2009 ,because I was in the Philippines back then,I placed my license in "inactive status". Now I am finally here in the US.My problem is that I wanted to transfer my license from Vermont to NJ(where I'm currently residing and planning to work) BUT since my license in Vermont is in "inactive status" I have to reactivate it again. Now the thing is that Vermont BON requires me to take the "re-entry program" since I could not renew my license without current hospital experience and I graduated more than 5 years ago(2005).Does anyone of you know what to do with my situation or how to go about with the re-entry program?I've heard that I need to have clinical sites lined up first?Is this true?And honestly, I don't know how getting those clinical sites lined up since it's different back in the Philippines.Do I need to go to each hospital to inquire and ask for permition to practice?Badly need someone to shed some light .I really want to work as a RN again but for me to do so I have to undergo all of these process of renewing .I'd gladly appreciate some thoughts.

Hey everyone.. I just wanted to start this thread to be able to know what are the scores gained during practice exams by the people who passed the NCLEX.. I have read in some thread that you must get at least 95% in all practice questions to be able to pass the real NCLEX-RN exam..Is this true? Because I have a friend that passed the exam and just have a score range of 55-65% during her answering of the KAPLAN cd question trainer.. Enlighten me People..Thanks..
