I was wondering if anyone might know the answer to this. If you're a GVN (or GN) and you take your NCLEX but haven't received your results yet, can you still work as a graduate while you're waiting? Do you stop if you receive a "fail" unofficially through pearson quickresults, or when the board says you fail? Not that I've failed... but I just took my nclex this morning and well... I'm freaking out =). It's too evil to just shut off at 85q's... Makes my mind wonder... did I do THAT bad!? Anyways, I just need to know where I stand. If I can work tomorrow or if I need to wait on results!?!? Thanks for your help in advance!
PS: My boss didn't seem phased when I told her I was testing today and working tomorrow... but I don't want to be in that limbo of not knowing whether I can work. But I WANT to work so I won't sit at home and think about what my results are. And the BON isn't open on Sundays...
