HOW TO SUBMIT A RETEST APPLICATION WITH TEXAS BOARD OF NURSING

To retake the NCLEX applicants must submit a Retest Application to the BON (https://txbn.boardsofnursing.org/txbn) and re-register with Pearson Vue (https://portal.ncsbn.org/).

Applicants can find the appropriate Retest Application and fee in their Nurse Portal. US graduates will submit the application titled “NCLEX RETEST Application – US Graduates” and International Graduates will submit the application titled “NCLEX RETEST Application – International  Graduates.” International Graduates may need to submit an updated verification of licensure (VR) if the verification on file is over 1 year old.

Applicants will not be approved to re-take the examination until all required information is received.

Applicants who were granted testing accommodations on a prior exam must attach a statement requesting implementation of the same accommodations if applicable.

An ATT is sent out within 15 business days once all required items are received. There is a 45 day waiting period between exams but the ATT will be future dated to account for that time period.
