question about failing nclex

Published

Good afternoon everyone! It's my first time posting here but i have previously been to the site for support while studying for the nclex. It has been a big help, especially emotionally after having failed the nclex. :bugeyes: So thanks for those who posted and offered encouraging words. After a couple of tries, i have passed and am now an RN. The next hurdle is applying for jobs. I just have a quick question for the moderators or for anyone who knows: is there any way for potential employers to check/find out if i have taken the nclex more than once and failed? and would this be held against me? Thank you in advance for anyone who replies. God bless. :icon_hug:

Congratulations!!!! I don't think that they can tell how many time you took nclex. The only thing I think that want to see is proof that you have a valid license to pratice as an RN.

Congratulations on passing, all employers will want to know is that you have a license not how many times you failed. Many good nurses failed it a few times
