So I called the CA BON...

Interesting. So how do you know the NCLEX now is more complex than the good old days. I am studying for the NCLEX again for CA because I let my license lapse and I don't see any difference in the test content. Many cardiac and psychiatric meds are the same. So what is so "complex" about fill in the blanks? You just work the problem out. What is so complex about check all the apply? Certainly since you have graduated from nursing school, you would have the knowledge to know which don't apply.

How would you like to sit for 2 days working complex IV, medicine calculations without a computer?

The person that referred to "the good old days" was being facititious. She was referring to the time it takes to get your results back and how fortunate you to get your results back so fast. That statement in no way implied that the Boards we sat for for 2 days were in any way inferior to the Boards taken today.

I didn't say they were easier or that the exam you took way back when was easy. Chill :rotfl: If anyone would like to say the exam is not more difficult now than it even was 2 years ago, show the proof. It is very well know that the new format has made it a more complex and difficult exam to take then the previous format. Sorry you get offended so easily, it wasn't my intention to offend anyone. :)

and....so I asked them if my "file was complete" because some of my classmates/other IP's who have taken the NCLEX the same day I have, have gotten their results via the online website and I haven't.

She said that the BON got my transcripts TODAY so therefore they haven't started "processing my test results" even though I tested last thursday 2/17 :uhoh21:

SO now she said I should check the website on Tuesday, but it could take up to 2 or 4 weeks for me to FIND OUT :angryfire ......thats 2-4 weeks from TODAY so basically all the waiting I have been doing for the past 7 days has been for NOTHING b/c they haven't picked up my file b/c my dumb school lagged on sending in the transcripts!!! :angryfire

SO frustrating.....congrats to all who have passed, and to all those who are not so patiently waiting (like me!)....you are NOT alone

PICURN: Have you found out anything yet? I guess you would have posted. As a new graduate how long does it take to process your application and get your ATT to test?

I am having to retake the boards again because I let my license lapse. They said it would take 4-6 weeks before I would get my paper work. They also send you a little card of acknowledgement that they have received your application but "do not call for 60 days." I called yesterday and they put me in touch with the voice mail of the person that does retakes. GRHHH! I've read through the boards that they have been pretty busy and maybe they got behind with all the furor over the Guvernator eliminating the BON. Budget problems are just hitting anyway we turn also. Anyway, wishing both of us luck soon.
