I took them in a small state, for there were only about 200 total spread out in a few rooms. There were six components, 3 each day. I think we had 2 hours to complete each portion, seems like there were around a million questions. Pedi, OB, Med Surg, Psych, I think one other, and then we had to take a portion with new test questions. Brutal. Think of SAT's all day for 2 days, filling in little circles with a number 2 pencil. Then we had to wait 5 or 6 weeks for the results to come in the mail, during which time we were allowed to work as a graduate nurse in the state where we took our boards, but not to give meds. The exam was only given twice a year. If the NCLEX is anything like CLEP exams where you get your results immediately, that is a huge improvement EDNurseasaurashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039072154469818990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116302622410729748.post-86294303456476053642013-11-15T07:53:06.083-05:002013-11-15T07:53:06.083-05:00Was state board during your time difficult like th...Was state board during your time difficult like the current <a href="http://nclexpreceptor.com//" rel="nofollow"> NCLEX exam </a>?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731451414976865386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116302622410729748.post-70860212950756878232010-10-07T21:51:58.198-04:002010-10-07T21:51:58.198-04:00Fabulous post!Fabulous post!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713799858334665501noreply@blogger.com
