Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated public health recommendations, the NCLEX examination is currently suspended. As a result, you will be unable to take any type of NCLEX examination. This suspends licensure by examination for all entry-level applicants until further notice.
The suspension of the NCLEX examination will take effect through August 31, 2020. These suspensions are in place in order to protect the public by temporarily pausing nursing education programs and pre-licensure testing. You cannot take this suspension as an opportunity to get ahead in your studies; nursing schools may not use alternative or supplementary learning methods during this time period in order to continue their curricula and achieve their goals for student learning outcomes.

The Board will assess the changes in conditions throughout California on a monthly basis and make decisions about whether or not to extend the suspensions.
Students who graduate at the end of this semester and wish to retake their coursework can do so without cost, Thompson said.
Students who graduate at the end of this semester and wish to retake their coursework can do so without cost, Thompson said.
“We are going to let students retake a course without any additional charge for tuition for the next year,” Thompson said. “So if a student fails a course and they want to retake it before they graduate, we will allow them to do that without having to pay an additional charge. It has to be done within one year of failing that class. If a student doesn’t pass a clinical or lab course, however, they won’t be allowed to use this policy because they have already passed the theory part of the class.”
Scroggins said she suspects that students could be in school for longer than 12 weeks, but is unsure what these new circumstances might mean for graduation dates.
Unfortunately, Scroggins said she suspects that students could be in school for longer than 12 weeks, but is unsure what these new circumstances might mean for graduation dates.
“It’s not like everybody can do everything remotely,” Scroggins said. “We don’t want to graduate people that aren’t competent.”
Scroggins also noted that while some of the coursework can be done online, there are still clinical rotation requirements at hospitals and long-term care facilities that must be met before graduating.
To meet this requirement, nursing students must volunteer at a healthcare facility for a semester and have direct contact with patients. This helps prepare students for when they start their career as a nurse and treat patients independently. The virus has made this requirement impossible to fulfill now, so many seniors will have to wait until next year or later in the summer if graduation is delayed again.
Nursing schools have been closed because of COVID-19 and will remain closed until further notice.
Nursing schools have been closed because of COVID-19 and will remain closed until further notice. The situation is ongoing, making the closures indefinite at this time.
As a result of these closures, nursing students have not been able to take the NCLEX exam and are unable to graduate. Some students may need to take more classes in order to get enough credits to graduate, while others may be missing internship hours they need before they can sit for the licensing exam. It is unclear how long nursing schools will be closed or when students will be able to complete their education so that they can graduate and become licensed nurses.
