Retaking NCLEX_RN

Hello Everybody...I am appearing for NCLEX 3rd time.....and I am living in Great Golden State ..CA...Where you are allowed to retake NCLEX only after 91 days..My question for any body who can answer is...I have done my Nursing program from CA ..can I apply for other states nuring boards which can allow me to retake after 45 days ..Also whether we have to go to that state to give the test..or I can simply give the test from CA for other state's Nursing Board.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks for reading my post....

and also wish me luck for this time......

My life have just stopped around this stupid NCLEX test..and I want to move on and have fun too....

I just gave my exam last April..If they have changed their retake policy they should have written in my Failing notice..but it says 91 days..Are u sure suzzane....Is there any link to that info....

Also this time I am using....MEDS 5-Star NCLEX-RN Exam Essentials Review -- in video format ..NCLEX3000...lippincotts..+ KAPLAN....

I just want get over with this stupid test...and move on with my life.....

Guys- Gals...Plz pray for me.....

Thanks,

Ravi

Hi suzzane......

I just called Ca Board of Nursing and they told me that retake Policy is 91 days in CA..I don't know from where you got the information that you can retake in 45 days..Board guy told me that there are other states that offer 45 days but not our..Great state...where you pay more for everything...

But let's hope i don't have to retake it....

regards,

Ravi

i have pasted the following from the ncsbn web site:

http://www.ncsbn.org/testing/candidates_035dfe94afab47c9b122fb318b3af377.htm

45-day re-take policy

ncsbn has a new policy regarding the number of days in-between nclex administrations. this policy reduces the minimum interval of days between repeat nclex examination administrations from 90 to 45 days and became effective january 1, 2004.

candidates who have applied for licensure with the participating boards of nursing will be permitted to take the nclex examination eight times a year, but no more than once in any 45-day period, unless limited to fewer re-takes by the desired jurisdiction of licensure.

the following boards of nursing are not participating in the 45 day re-take period: california-rn, georgia-rn, guam, montana, oklahoma, puerto rico, south dakota, washington and west virginia-rn.

so now, most states do have a 45 day re-take policy. unfortunately, there are a few states who don't that are in bold above.

hope this helps.

Saunders and KAPLan are good review materials. try to find the Exam-cram Q&A, too! they really helped me... if you have enough money, u can always go to the Philippines. hehehe! we have good review centers that can help you! :)

Hi Ravi. Let me wish you best of luck on your exams, I took mine for the first time this July and I must say that it was nothing like I expected it to be. I had a lot of anxiety and did not help at all. Looking forward to reading your results. By the way, you did not say when your retake was. Once again, Good Luck.

hi ravi, as for as I know you don't have to move to any state to take nclex. Its just personvue center near your place that you can register.

I am in a similar situation, and called the BRN directly. They said all I needed was a cover letter indicating that there has been no new disciplinary action or convictions since the last time I applied for licensure. The evaluator said they keep all your original documents in a file for 1-2 years. You do not need to provide all that info. again.

Also in California, you can retake the exam in 45 days!!! We are in 2012 (the rules have changed since some people on here have posted).
