265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

Published

The amount of males who get all 265 questions is alarming and needs to be looked into. I have a friend who failed twice at 265. I passed at 265. Another friend got all 265 today. 3 other male classmates got all 265. I work with 6 male coworkers. 5 of them got 265. The amount of men in nursing is already a fraction, but the percentile that goes all 265 has to be alarming. In 20 years I am gonna see a commercial saying "If you're a male and took the NCLEX and received all 265 questions you may be entitled to financial compensation."

I’m a male. Passed NCLEX first attempt in 2016 with 75 questions.

Now I can't look at it the same. Every time a man says he's taking or took the NCLEX I'm going to forever think MENCLEX. ?

Male, 265 questions, but passed instead of failing as my instructor predicted because she said it's always the men failing though.

Specializes in ICU, trauma, neuro.

Can anyone ascertain the male pass rate or average number of questions from the data made public? I can find data for foreign vs US educated, but nothing for male vs female.

"Traditionally, men have gravitated toward acute care (/directory/acute-care), high-paid specialties and to management/administration, which are all higher paying," he said. "Based on this survey, it seems clear men are being paid signicantly more than women in the profession doing comparable work. I would call on employers to assess their current workforce for gender gaps and raise salaries to create parity."
One important aspect of earnings is men are more likely to negotiate their salaries, the survey found. While 43 percent of men "most of the time or always" negotiate, only 34 percent of women do so, which may partially account for the pay gap in healthcare and other professions.

exactly my point, pay gap is a myth nowadays. This is nothing but a political tool to fool the useful idiots.

Nice. The arrogance and rudeness is just over the top. There IS a pay gap. Reasons why vary. I have seen men start as brand new nurses in my specialty that made more out the gate than experienced women with equal education. I am not a "useful idiot". But you are rude.

Your quote actually stated that the pay gap is not a myth. Which was my point.

Maybe you should read the whole article which YOU posted in the first place. The pay gap is there, but not because of discrimination.

Sorry if your feelings are hurt. Maybe a safe space might help you.

Ok everyone, enough name calling. A few posts have been removed. Please keep to topic regarding males and pass scores. If you wish to discuss a hot topic on pay between men and women in the profession then start a new thread in the appropriate forum
