HELP! My hair color is different than my photo ID for the NCLEX.. What should I do?

[lizzie223]

I recently went from brown to blonde. My photo ID still shows me as having brown hair... and I take the NCLEX tomorrow. I'm so nervous that they won't accept my ID. Anyone know if I will be OK? Any experiences? Thanks!

If it was a problem then cops would be aresting everyone for not looking like their phot ID. I highly doub they'll notice.

It's fine. Changing your hair color/style does not change your facial features.

US Passports are good for 10 years. Can you imagine the TSA forbidding anyone who has changed their hair color, hair style, or (God forbid) aged from getting on a plane?

As long as the name on your ID matches the name on your paperwork, it's fine.

I just took my exam Thursday. In my passport ID I have brown hair and brown eyes and now I have blonde hair and colored blue contacts and I had no problems!

Or lying about their weight!

I'm sure there will be no problem.

Thanks for everyone's replies! They didn't even question my ID.. the lady actually told me she likes the color.. haha.

Now I have to wait and see how I did on the NCLEX. That was a difficult test. I looked up as many as I could remember and I know I got a few easy ones wrong! I'm so mad at myself. I completely blanked on Kernig's sign, which I should have known! Grr. Im just worried that I made mistakes on easy ones and screwed it all up. I thought too much into them.

lvcourtneyy did you find out how you did? Were you as worried as me? I feel like I failed.

@lizzie223: i got my quick results and I passed! It was definitely a hard test! I wouldn't stress too hard about knowing you got some wrong! Everyone gets a bunch wrong and passes, it's the nature of the test! Good luck!
