retaking NCLEX

Published

took NCLEX through CA BRN last 2005, unfortunately did not pass. :cry:

planning to retake the exam now in VT.

but it says that you need to complete a nursing program? what is that???

BTW, i already have a CGFNS cert and Visa Screen cert.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome

Moved to the International forum. Not sure why you want to go to another state to sit the exam as it is a national exam and you have to start the application process with the new state and meet their requirements for foreign trained nurse. Much easier to re sit with Ca

thank you for the reply silverdragon.

actually the 2 years that you are allowed to retake in CA has already elapsed. and i will have to go through the process again..

and it will take another 5 months or so... i've been there..

anyway, i emailed the VT board and they said that i do not need to take a nursing program but instead i will apply as an original applicant and submit my previous test results.

and the good news is, i do not need to submit my school credentials anymore. my CGFNS certificate will suffice...

thanks again!!!

Well at least you know what to do.

Try to avoid CA for your NCLEX. The board is not a member of Nursys and it will cost you a lot of time to apply for endorsement in another state. It will take them forever to submit your license verification since it is only done manually. This is a problem that I cannot get rid of as a travel nurse originally licensed in CA.

the VT accpet the acgfns cetificate requesting the CGFNS office to send them the oficial certificate.
