Retesting for the 4th time

Published

Hi everyone.

I have taken the nclex in Florida 2 times and just moved to indiana and i retook it for the 3rd time. Just feeling very discouraged. I just called indiana bon and they told me now i have to go in front of the board. Has anyone had to to this im terrified. Or do i have other options to retest in another state? I have been out of school since 2009. THANKS GUYS

You've been out of school for 8 years? The IN BON has a duty to protect the public, and that is why you are called to appear. They will want to know in VERY clear, detailed terms what you plan to do to address your gap and will likely mandate some intense and substantial remedial action (at your expense) in order to clear you for another attempt.

The BON does not bite. Don't be afraid- they are experienced nurses and members of the public who have sworn to do their job. Nothing more. Nothing less.
