4 years after graduating can I still take the NCLEX?

Published

My boyfriend graduated his LVN program in 2008 and has taken his NCLEX twice and failed is there a limit as to when he cant take the test anymore. ?

I really hope there isn't we struggle so much to pass school and continue to pay the loans for school. =(

By the way I live in California.

Thank you All!

This is a state-by-state issue decided by each individual Board of Nursing. Some allow an unlimited number of attempts. Others allow only so many chances or have a deadline.

At the bottom of each page, you will find a link to the state boards. Click on yours and you might be able to find the information on line. If not, maybe someone who knows the answer for your state will post.

Best wishes.

here's a quote from your state of california, plus i added the link if you're interested...good luck....aloha~

quote "how many times can i take the nclex-pn in a year? any student who graduated from a lvn program approved by the california state board of nursing has the right to sit for the nclex exam eight times per year or every 45 days. keep in mind that each time you take the nclex-pn exam you need to complete an application form and pay all the mandatory fees."
