Would you take NCLEX-RN when 40 weeks pregnant?

Published

I will be receiving my ATT the day before my baby's due date. Would you take the exam?

Have you studied ? Do you feel confident?

I have studied a good bit. I graduated in Dec & took NCLEX immediately..failed with 265 questions. I've been doing Kaplan & ATI since then. I felt like I could pass because I understand what the exam is like now.

I used this after I failed the first time https://learningext.com best thing ever. If you feel ready go for it. But you might go early too... Baby's come when they want.....

Why not?

If there's an issue with the baby's arrival you can always retake it.

Best of luck!

You may be getting your ATT the day before the baby's due date but there is no way to know what days will be open and available for you to test. Because you only have 24 hrs to reschedule an exam, I'd be sure to schedule it far enough out that there is no chance you may be in labor or recovering from the delievery on the day of the exam. The last thing that would be on my mind during labor, delivery and after would be to be sure to reschedule my exam :) If you don't reschedule within the allotted time, you lose your money and have to go throught the whole process again.

Wishing you a quick easy delivery and best of luck with the exam :)

Yes. This is a what I'm worried about. I'm due to get my ATT on a Saturday (but I know they won't send it to me then). The Monday after that weekend is a holiday, so I'm sure I'll get it on Tuesday. However, my daughter's due date is Wednesday. My pregnancy has gone well so far, no issues, but who knows I could go into labor any day. I really wanted to take the exam before she gets here, but I'm not sure if it'll work out that way...

Is this your first baby? If so, you most likely will deliver late! Are you feeling any contractions?

This is my first child. I've been having Braxton hicks contractions. I'm 37weeks 4days right now

With it that close I wouldn't risk it personally... Just wait to schedule it till after you have the baby... Or schedule it for a bit out so well have time

I received my ATT on Christmas Day so yours could come on any day.
