265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

Nursing Students NCLEX

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."

These are for all HESI programs. My teacher stated I had the highest score in Med Surge she's ever seen.

Scheduled to take the NCLEX and will pass it in less than 100 questions.

Just maybe your claim is biased. I'll also add unsupported by nothing more than your experience.

So a question could be are these your personal experiences with men acting out with your emotions at play here? Something to look into.

Hmmm, computer adaptive testing only begin in 93 or 94-ish. (Can't remember exact year, but around then.) Anyone taking NCLEX before that time, took it on paper, over two days. And there were way more than 75 questions.

Exactly. Some of us still remember taking NCLEX right after the pencil was invented and that's what we used. And everyone had to answer all 3,534 questions. And it took 6 months to get your results, unless one of the dogs died and the sled was late. Or you could pay extra for the pigeon option.

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

I didn't post the article. The pay gap is there. All of the arguments that men work more nights, more overtime, etc. don't hold water if the pay gap is in base pay per hour.

Breaking news. MENCLEX will be 69 questions - for obvious reasons. Crotch scratching, beer chugging, and superbowl viewing will be permitted during the exam. Additional percentage points will be allotted for bad breath and number of fireball shots consumed. Short answer questions will assess your recall of useless sports stats. Matching questions will force you to prove that you have a pulse.

The certification will be as a registered murse ?

i.e. Danny Boy, RM?

I passed with 75 questions and when I was a doddering 60-year-old. MENCLEX indeed!

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.

While it's not a universal problem where one fails more than the other, if what the OP is saying is true, that specific school is somehow failing their male students. The problem is that it's showing a trend with all the guys he's talked to about it.

It could be the school’s program, simple random chance, or a correlation among the male students that goes beyond being male (for example they are all English as a second language because of where they are located).
