Still Waiting, Question about IP in CA


I think it's strange why getting the results varies. I'm basing this amongst my colleagues. 3 recieved the results on line within 2/3 days, 2 found out 1 week later, 2 two weeks later. Would it depend on how fast our 'evaluator' (BON) works and his or her workload etc.? I called BON on Sept 2 I have "nothing missing". Results 'hasn't been processed' the Rep was very giggly, happy and nice.Maybe that's a hint lol.

Re: Interim Permits I read if you either fail or take the NCLEX the IP will be invalid and it will be pulled out of the website true or not? Well this my situation, I have no way of knowing. I recieved my IP April 2004 (the paper) I checked the website says 'No Record Found' which is weird. I called BON customer service tried to connect me to my 'Evaluator" but no luck so Rep then typed on her computer 'request to place my IP on the website', rep says it will be ready either the following day or in 2 days. I waited to 2 days 'No Records found' again, I called BON 2nd time same thing tried to connect me to my 'evaluator' once again no luck. Rep placed a 'request for my IP to appear online' again. Rep said if Employer is having a problem just have them call the BON. Well my IP never appeared online, I got tired of calling them. So I had my IP for 4 months it never appeared on the BON website. I took my NCLEX-RN on Tuesday Aug 30 and my name still not popping on line . I'm hoping it's a computer glitch.

I know it's frusterating. A bunch of us took the test on the same day and we all found out within a few weeks of each other. Needless to say, whoever didn't post as quick as the others sure felt like they had failed.

As for the IP issue - I have seen 3 people in my new grad program leave work because they didn't pass the boards. All of their IPs still show up on the website when you do a search for them. I don't think th BRN automatically takes theirs down because they failed, because their names are still up.

Anyways, best of luck to you. The waiting game stinks.

California can take anywhere form a few days to a few weeks. They will not give you a set time to expect your notification. I would give them at least ten days before beginning to contact them.

If you see your name on the BON website before then, great, if not just wait.
Look at the California website and you will see what I am talking about. Many waited close to one month to hear that they passed.

I dont think they pull the IP's from the website,since mine is there and I passed and was issued a license number over a month ago. I have a friend that didnt pass and her IP is still there also. I really think you need to speak to an evaluator. Leo is especially helpful if you're in CA. I hope this helps.

My 'Evaluator' is Yolanda who I could never get in touched with. I'll continue to wait.
