test in 6 days, metal detectors in the test center?

Published

I'm taking my NCLEX-RN on the 26th, and it just struck me that could very well be metal detectors at the test center.

I just recently had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis, and at my post op appointment my surgeon said since I've got a lot of hardware in me, I probably will.

Anyone think this will cause me any problems? Should I get a note from my surgeon just in case?

I just took NClex and there was no metal detector. Although they say the prohibit carrying a firearm...I guess in case you get upset and flip out, right? They did scan my palm every time I left to go to the bathroom.

Were they using the bug lite to check for handwashing???:lol2: Sorry. The devil made me ask this.

To OP - I don't have any answer for you. Sorry

People leave all their belongings in the center's locker and testify about cheating on a test. I don't think they will be that evil...

:-) I did not see any metal detectors at our center but if you are unsure, then call your local testing center, so you don't have to pay extra money for your doctor's visit again.

Best wishes!

i called my test center this morning to ask if they've got metal detectors.

the woman on the phone giggled and said they haven't got any metal detectors, so i'll be fine.

good luck to everyone nervously waiting for their test date, hopefully we'll all do great!
