Hello,

Someone please advise me on this issue..

I took my test 2 weeks ago and my results were on hold... I received a letter from pearsonvue that they will have to cancel my test because I violated a law by using cell phone.. They gave me an option to appeal..

They are right, i used my cell phone on my way to rest room.. Not inside the exam room.. My 12 month baby is in another country and he went to emergency due to illness.. I callled my hus for 10 seconds on my way to rest room to check and see whether he got calls from the doctor.. While I was in the phone, examiner came out side the hallway and told me to hang up the phone and I did rightway and told her that my baby is sick and i was checking with my husband and she said it ok dont call again and I did not..

On the next day of the exam I had to flew back to my country in an emergency ticket and just came back today.. I have the ticket copy showing the nextday afterwards travel date and stamped passport.. Dose anyone think i can appeal with the info..? I can get the medical certificate from the hospital showing that my baby was on the hospital on the same day i was taking test.

I made the call due to anxiety.. When my baby was only 4 months i send him to my parents house just for me to prepare the RN exam and he was staying there for last 8 months.. i did so much hard word to prepare the exam... I have the local country police certificate aswell showing my baby was there for last 8 months..

Please please guide me what to do in this case... I couldnt even sleep.. I used it on my way to rest room and the examiner confirmed it is ok.. I had 265 questions and took 6 hrs to finish and i was the only one in the room after 6.00pm, so i may be the examiner got mad.. however i am really confused, i have the Appeal or No Appeal letter from pearsonvue...

(praying) hows everything i just want hear an update with your situation, were you able to take the test or they gave your license but on revoke status??pls reply asap thanks! were all praying for you!

I wish you all the best and that you will overcome this trial in your life. Be strong!x

I think this is crazy.Dont give up yet.Its impossible for someone to cheat on the nclex on a bathroom break come on!..Im sure this will be settled in you will be working soon.I dont think you need a attorny just wait to hear from the board of nursing in go from their,most likely you will have to take NCLEX again with no damage to your license!

I think the lesson to be learned here is to TURN OFF all cell phones and electronic devices and stow them in the locker before the test. Why leave them on and leave yourself open to these situations? When I took my Excelsior exams I put everything away (phone, watch, wallet, keys, pens, etc.) so there was no chance of a slip-up or misunderstanding with the proctor.

When I took my NCLEX we had to put all our stuff in lockers. They kept the key until we were done with the test. They even checked our pockets every time we left and went back into the testing room. The whole process made me nervous!

I don't mean to be cruel and add insult to injury, but those are the rules. No phone use means no phone use at all for anyone. Why do people think the rules are for everyone but them?

The OP made their last post on AN on 9.26.2011, she never came back to update and hasn't posted since. It's doubtful she will respond to your post.

Perhaps, if you need help, you could create a post and get responses.
