I need your advice....

I just took my NCLEX-RN last march 1 and its day 8 - no results yet. I know I have to wait for 2 weeks for the mail but my anxiety is just rising each morning whenever I go to the BRN website and my name is still not listed. Also, it makes me more nervous because some who tested on the same week saw their name posted on the BRN website just 3 days after. Im so scared I failed the exam thats why name is still not there!!!

Anyone who tested recently but got their results via mail first (before the BRN website)? And any chance, the result was positive?

Thanks for any input!

You are also leaving off the fact that you did not give the BRN a SSN# until five days or so after you tested. That puts you in the processing as a foreign nurse, your file just does not get pulled out of that pile. More than likely you will be waiting to get the letter that is mailed the second week after you tested. Processing also does not happen immediately when you give them information.

Example, if you were in the US and had already had previous passing results on that exam, it is usually two weeks or so for you to recieve the license, it does not happen overnight.
