The graduate who fails the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) on the first attempt is psychologically, socially, and financially devastated. It is humiliating for the graduate to inform family, friends, and potential employers of the failure. It is also devastating for the graduate to have to wait until the 91st day following the NCLEX-RN failure to retake the computer adapted test (CAT). This length of time between examinations may increase the graduate's risk for failing the NCLEX-RN a subsequent time, because the graduate is not authorized to function as a graduate nurse in the clinical setting; there is no ongoing reinforcement of nursing knowledge, nursing process, critical thinking, or clinical performance skills. The graduate's NCLEX-RN performance also impacts the school of nursing's annual NCLEX-RN pass rate.
首次参加美国国家执业护士资格考试（NCLEX-RN）未通过的毕业生在心理、社交和经济方面都会受到重创。毕业生向家人、朋友和潜在雇主告知考试失败是很丢脸的事。而且，毕业生必须等到NCLEX-RN考试失败后的第91天才能重新参加计算机自适应考试（CAT），这也让他们备受打击。两次考试之间间隔这么长的时间可能会增加毕业生再次未能通过NCLEX-RN考试的风险，因为该毕业生未被授权在临床环境中以实习护士的身份工作；护理知识、护理流程、批判性思维或临床操作技能也无法得到持续强化。毕业生的NCLEX-RN考试成绩还会影响护理学院的年度NCLEX-RN通过率。
