So first off why only in Cali do we have to wait? No quick results. To be honest its LVN/PN you would think RN testing you would have to wait but even they get there results quicker. The whole system needs to be fixed. Here is what happen with me... Finished VN school. Had to wait for them to send out papers to Sacramento, which i think are all volunteers or really old, that took 5 weeks for them to send papers to me to sign and pay to test which had to go through my school, i had a loan through, so i went to my school had them send out the check and papers they said it would take 2 weeks took another 5 weeks. finally got my papers to test. Called the test center and there all of Indian descent none of which i could understand then realized the people in Sacramento spelled my name wrong.. It was a typo. Had to call Sacramento they said it would take 48 hours.. Called them a couple days later it was fixed. Called the testing center same people got a test date for a week. Got ready for the test. Read all the drama about what people who have no idea about the test thought it would shut off at or how you would do and what to study for. Really only studied 2 days. Took test Monday it was easy and hard. Had 205 questions. Left seeing my results of all passing and completed.lol Now waiting to get my results since we have no quick results. What a joke this needs to be fixed. I was in a RN program and took a time out to work more since i am the only provider. Was told to finish LVN and come back part time online program. I cant wait to be through all this madness but we must go to the meetings and vote on some changes. I know now i have to pay again and wait for my license from Sacramento...? What a joke.. Do not believe any hype about the test. Read all the information on how and why the test is in place from the nclex web site itself and you will get a feel for the test and understand a lot more then people who are now new professionals giving professional biased opinions... Also the way the test is graded is a joke. Making it harder for a smarter new grad or just giving easy questions to a average new grad is not the way to test. If so all our test would be so. If a new grad is smart and flys through the test they should move on to RN or PA or higher. The test is for new grads in nursing. Its a one year program private and a two year at a community setting. With all the remarks on oh i did not do well on the test its because you had harder then average questions. Then they find out they pass. Make a difference and go to the meetings and vote!
