Desperate

i am sorry that you haven't heard anything yet. to be honest, when they send you the att and information, it clearly states that you cannot bring any review items and other stuff like notes, etc into the testing center. i am sure that they are not incinuating that you may have done something of that nature, but i would assume they have to look into it. i do wish you all the best, and hope your situation gets resolved soon. take care and stay positive.

All you can do is wait for the BRN and see what they say. It is written down not to bring review material to the center and the center has to follow guidelines that is set down if something like this happens.

thank you and to be honest w/ you. i'm aware but was not thinking and suppose to left that in my car. also, i did not open that book/study for 2days before the test.

It will be up to CA to make the decision since you mentioned the BRN, and they are the only ones that have a separate board for RNs.

Honestly, more than likely, you will have to retake the exam. It states very clearly that not one thing can be brought into the room with you when you test, and nothing more should be taken out of the locker other than possibly a piece of fruit or water.

Having a review book with you when you took your break is a major no-no.

I have never seen them make any exceptions to this rule. And they have to follow policy of what is written. Even having a gum wrapper in a pocket is not permitted.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do but wait for a decision to be made. There is no way to hurry things up for you.

Best of luck to you and do keep us posted.

And for others that are reading, never take anything to the exam with you, especially a review book. No reason to have it with you at all.

Thank you suzanne and silverdragon. I will be happy to take the test again if i have to. I have more confident now that i used to......honestly.

Wow that seems to be kind of hard, waiting and waiting to hear from them, I'll make sure to keep you in my prayers.

Hey Runnerbe:

I hope you don't have to take it again, I really don't! Just the thought about it give me a upset stomach! Who in the world wants to take it again....you know what I mean!

Just hope and wait that everything will come out as you expect it to be!

Good luck new friend!

But for sure, incase someone does not know or is about to take the boards to remember: DON'T TAKE ANYTHING WITH YOU TO THE CENTER. EAT A GOOD MEAL, USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE, SAY A GOOD PRAYER!

Thank you for sharing your story with us.

I take my test tommorrow!

I'm desperate too. I've recently took my Nclex-PN (since March) stopped at 85 and failed.

Suzanne, I've completed your first tip, took me bout a month and a half to finish the whole book. I should've done your program long time ago b/c I spent a great amount of money for reviews and books that didn't help. It took me awhile to be convince about your program since a lot of people have been passing. I also have a habit on reading into nclex questions and I have a lot of co-workers telling me I should take my nlcex asap but I'm a slow reader,its just overwhelming sometimes. If any1 has any study tips I'd appreciate them. thanx
