Answer to your Question:

IN June of 1996, my graduating RN class was the LAST to take the Canadian Nursing Exam that gave you a NUMBER GRADE
the number rarely made sense. The exam i wrote was given in 4 3hr 300 question sessions over 2 days. thus 1200 questions right? and maybe a pass is 800??? My score was 583, highest score was 792 and a pass was 437.!!! AND each state board that accepted it had a different minimum score needed!! What does that mean????? who knows ? maybe thats why they changed it.

Any RN student to graduate later than that took an exam in Canada that is either a Pass or Fail result. If you took this exam you MUST write the NCLEX for most US boards of nursing.

any other questions feel free to post to me

Thanks Rvingrn! I have just sent in my application to register for the Nclex. I figured if I am gonna spend so much money might as well take it and be sure that I can get a job! Is there anything special I can know about the Nclex? I actually used the book to study for my Can exam and none of what I studied was on it so hopefully it is still fresh in my mind!!!
