3 year deadline HELP DESPERATE

Published

​Hello everyone ,

I graduated from An university at may of 2014, I did my fingerprint and signed up to take the nclex, but unfortunately I could not take it due to family issues. Recently, I went back to My university to ask for assistance, they told me the exam must be taking within three years of the first apply, which I'm pass the deadline of the requirement. If I want to take the exam, I have to have additional two more years of nursing school according to the guild line.

This varies from state to state. Your best source of information for this is going to be your state board of nursing. Which state are you in/looking to test in?

Have you actually went to the BON website and saw these rules? Usually it's a specific period of time when you graduate, then you need a refresher course.

I did a quick search and it appears that the application is only good for 3 years. The application itself doesn't mention having to complete 2 more years of education if you miss that deadline, but I did read in several other areas that it is required to complete 2 more years of nursing education if you miss the 3 year deadline. The best way for you to know for sure is to contact the board of nursing and speak with them directly. Good luck.

You may be able to test in another state, get licensed in that state, and apply back to Illinois by endorsement. You'll have to shop for states that will allow you to test ...and hopefully you'll actually pass after such a length of time. That's just as big of a hurdle.

Just start typing in different states along with "BON" and take a look at their requirements. It's not a common problem, so you might have to do the research (google) yourself. I'd start with neighboring states. And of course, make sure that Illinois will allow you to endorse back under those circumstances. Some states may not.
