Hi everyone,
I just found out that one of my classmates took his test in Nevada to avoid the wait, is that possible? I took my test on Feb 1 and feel like I failed. If I have to take my test again I don't think I can wait this long again. Does anyone know anything about testing in another state?

I took my NCLEX-PN in Texas for the California BVNPT. I only waited 12 days for my results, whereas people who actually took NCLEX in CA often wait 4 or 5 weeks.

How did you get licensed in Calif?

I was born and raised in California, and lived there from birth until 2005. Southern California (Van Nuys) is where I attended the LVN program. Therefore, I was initially licensed in California before endorsing it into Texas when I moved away.

NCLEX can be taken anywhere it is offered, regardless of where the results will be sent.
