How long do i have to wait in CA??? HELP

[2007BSN]

So i took my test on wednesday and it is now friday and still nothing. California doesn't do the quick results. So how long do i have to wait?? I'm going crazy, i already feel like i failed becuase i didn't get a lot of priority questions or any deligation questions and i only had 75 questions and for only having 75 i feel like i should be able to gauge how well i did, but i can't so i feel like i totally bombed it. Anyways, i already checked the rn.ca.gov site today and my name isn't there. Should i bother checking again today? do they only update it once/day? And if i failed does that mean that my name will just never show up? PLease help i am so stressed:(

Congrats elenova!

That was less than a month for you to wait. I have trouble sleeping nowadays. Everyday I am checking my mails..It's 17 days now, and well I will try to be more patient...I wish there was quick result.. anyway, did you get it in a white envelope? Was it thin? gosh, i am so worried..

I knew from before that if u get a thin envelope, u passed as if not the Board is sending u the papers for reapplication.It is always a white envelope (normal Ca Board envelope).

My envelope was thin and once I touched it it was e relief, walked around the whole day, waiting for my b/f to come and open it, read it and then just tell me passed or failed.

Try to occupy urself with smthg that u missed to do for the past few months while studying, hang in here, this site is the best. So many people know how u feel and understand u the best...

I keep my fingers crossed for u. Keep us posted

jayann....i also feel the same as u still waiting for my result..i feel sick of waiting and the problem is nobody knows i took the exam so i dnt have anyone to talk to... thanxs for this website at least i can communicate to anybody with the same situation as mine...i keep it secret when i took the test coz it seems big deal to them and i feel so much pressure on my part...i really felt that i failed the exam coz its hard... and i had 190++.....i hope and pray to the Lord to give me guidance...

crzylinn hello, the main problem is the waiting period and since you don't have anyone to talk with, this website is great! people are so emphatic here. with regards to pressure, i am ! (knowing everyone in my family knows how hard i worked)..everyone feels after the exam failed but most of them passed....but in the end we have prayers to keep us sane while waiting...no result yet for me, so i try myself to keep busy...cheer up...and you'll make it....

hi crzylinn,

this will be a long week again for me,hehehehe...going back and forth to our mailroom...but i try to think positively...if i fail, that won't make me less of a person...if i pass thank God...and there's always many blessings to count. like you, you are lucky enough to be already in USA. so we'll keep waiting...good luck again..

[crzylinn]

Exam taken on 1/26 and still waiting. Anxiously waiting, being that it stopped at 265. We'll see.

i know the feelings of waiting for the results... u see, me and my friend took the nclex-rn last dec.5,2006 in anaheim,ca and till now no result yet...we're an international trained and working nurses who wish to be licensed in CA.

the long waiting is killing us... and giving us more tension in our work...(we're not acting like this before).

anyhow, we're hoping for the best...

goodluck to those who are still waiting this long...
