CA NCLEX result concern

World International

Published

Hello all,

I took my NCLEX-RN on December 21st and until now I don't see my name on the CA license verification site. I called in and they said they sent my results on the 26th. I am very anxious about my result and I feel like I failed since my name hasn't been posted on the site. Here's my case and I hope you guys can help or enlighten me with my concerns.

I talked to 3 representatives at CA BON since I took the exam:

1. One lady told me they sent out my results on the 26th, but I have a problem with my fingerprint card and that I need to discuss it with my evaluator to resolve it. Of course I left 2 voice messages to my evaluator and haven't heard back from her.

2. One guy told me that they don't have my fingerprint on file, and he will send me a new fingerprint card to re-submit it, before they can release me my result. I told him one lady told me that my result has been sent out already, and then he said they will have to put it on hold, because they can not release my result until they receive my new fingerprint card.

3. Another lady and the last one I talked to told me that she will send me a new fingerprint card for me to re-submit it as they don't have it on file. She said that they will not release my result without the fingerprint card only if I passed the exam, but if I failed I will get the result.

Now, here's the thing...I filed my application in March 2007. I paid for the application and the fingerprint card, but did not pay for the interim permit because I do not hold a license from my country. I sent my fingerprint card separately and received a notice of receipt for it. I've been communicating with CA BON since then, and they were asking me to pay for the interim permit which I did not apply for...and the story did not change until I talked with the evaluator one time. They asked me to write a letter explaining why I did not apply for the interim permit and why I do not hold a license from my country. After that they made me eligible to take the exam, so I thought the problem has been solved already. After I took the exam, I learned that there is still a problem with my fingerprint card. To cut the story short, they now transferred the payment for my "originally payment for" fingerprint card from the interim card to the fingerprint card, and now they are wanting me to re-submit a new fingerprint card as they do not have it on file.

My questions are:

1. Are they saying that they sent out my result because I failed the exam?

2. Won't they even notify me of my missing requirement to fix the problem? (I just learned about it because I called)

3. Is it possible that they will not release my result even if I passed just because I do not have my fingerprint on file? (I have a SSN and complete paperwork, except for the fingerprint)

4. Has anyone here did not receive his/her result due to missing paperwork and it's because he/she passed?

I took the exam and stopped at 75, and so I am not very confident that I passed, but it would really disappoint me if I failed, but what can I do? I just really want to be enlightened. I think I will get a letter from the CA BON soon as they said they sent out something to me on the 26th, and my greatest fear is that it could be my failure notice.

Any information will be appreciated.

Happy New Year to all!

And if you do have a SSN#, they are unable to even provide your results until they have a completed file on you and that means that the fingerprints need to be cleared first. Fingerprints are a primary requirement and if you are stating that there are issues with them, then that needs to be resolved first.

With the offices being closed for a few days, suspect that they were sending out something having to do with the fingerprints, and not results. You will have to wait until you receive that letter and find out what they want you to do.

Best of luck on your results.

Thanks Suzanne. I received 2 fingerprint cards in separate mails today, both postmarked January 2nd. I believe the two representatives I talked to sent me one each. I still have not received the letter they said they sent on December 26th. I'm still really confused because they have two versions at the CA BON, one says they sent my results on December 26th and the other one says there was nothing sent on December 26th. Anyway, I hope after I resubmit these fingerprint cards that I will finally get my results. Will keep you posted.

They are not going to send out your results if there is an issue with your fingerprints, that is why they sent the cards to you to complete before they can do anything.

They cannot issue a license to you without a completed file, so they will not do anything further until that time.

If you are in CA, then just go and get the LiveScreen done and that will be it.

Get the fingerrpints in to them as soon as you can. At this time, you have spoken to several people and are just trying to second guess them. That is not helpful at all.

You need to complete what they are asking for.

I understand. I will go get my fingerprints done tomorrow and mail it to them right away. I am in Texas so I have no choice but to do the manual fingerprinting. Thanks again. I guess I'll just have to wait then.

I mailed in my fingerprint cards on Monday. On Wednesday, my evaluator finally called back and explained to me that my fingerprint fee was applied to the interim permit (even though I did not apply for it). For some reason, they could not locate my old fingerprint card in their file, so they asked me to re-submit a new one. She asked me to send in a new payment for the fingerprint processing, and that she will request for a refund for the interim permit fee they charged me. She also told me that my result was mailed out on Tuesday, so I should be receiving it anytime now. I do not have any idea if I passed or failed....I am preparing myself for whatever result I will get in the mail. Will keep you posted.

Okay, i got my results today and sad to say I failed as I expected it. I thought I failed on Pharmacology, but it turned out I failed on Management of Care and Health Promotion and Maintenance. Anyhow, I'll just try my best next. Thanks to you all.

Sorry to hear that you did not pass. We have a forum here for the NCLEX exam and that can be found under the student tab at the top of this forum.

Will go ahead and close this thread since it has been answered fully at this time.
