There have been many, it may be something as simple as a incomplete file ie your school hasn't sent in transcripts or problems with fingerprints. We usually say if you haven't hear anything in 2 weeks to give them a ring and check on status

thanks....im sure that there are no problem with my transcript bc it's my 2nd time to take the exam.And it's more than a year since I've submitted it.Fingerprint?I'm not so sure about that but I have submitted it along with my application form (twice...for my 1st and 2nd exam).I'm just waiting for my result and trying to relax (as if)...then maybe I could try suzanne's plan.I'm planning to buy Saunders 4th ed ( I have the 3rd ed).

don't asume anything and wait for your results before doing anything else. Hang in there

Hi freezin18, just curious did your friend get her results after 16 days through the mail or did she see her name on the BON website after 16 days? Thanks

I'm really new to this site and it's really an amazing site. It's comforting to know that we aren't alone with our feelings of worry. I wish everyone luck! I'm waiting on my results as well. I took them this past tuesday!!!

Average wait time for CA is actually ten days and can take up to a month.

Something else to consider is that even if you got approval to sit for the exam a year ago, it does not mean that your file is complete if you trained in CA. They will actually permit a CA grad to sit for the exam before everything is complete. And they do not review your file until you have actually passed the NCLEX exam and are ready to issue your license. Unless your file contains everything it will not be seen a human reviewer. That is why some that have tested even four times do not actually have completed files.

If you do not hear anything or see anything within a two week period, then contact them to see if your file is complete.
