I feel like burning most the LVN review books I bought as they did me no good what-so-ever on the NCLEX. The questions I got came out of left field. Stuff that wasn't taught in school like post mordum care for jewish men and questions about the Buhdist faith. I couldn't believe the questions I got. It felt like I guessed at half the questions. What a terrible feeling I have now. I have went threw the ENTIRE Saunders LNV review book and cd TWICE, that's 6,000 questions, as well as the kaplan review book, "lvn made easy", and the mosby cd. Total review questions and rationales done exceeded 8,000. Yet it didn't help me at all. Yes I read the rationales for ALL the questions/ answers. The NCSBN.ORG review was the only thing that helped me as the questions were similar to the NCLEX.
The VAST majority of question were priority questions. I had learned all the tricks to answer these in the Kaplan book. Only one big problem....the priority questions in kaplan are a complete joke (very easy) compared to the actual NCLEX ones which were brutal.
My computer shut off at 85 and I am positive I got the 85th question wrong because I looked it up when I got home. I hear if the computer stops at 85 and you miss the last question ...you most likely failed if you weren't doing so hot. I wanted to throw up when I left the testing center.
So hear I sit and have to wait 3 weeks to get result in CA. I will start checking the LVN board website next week, but I have a bad feeling my name won't be up there and I will have to take the NCLEX again.
Hey, I have a feeling you are going to get urs either tomorrow or Saturday... I called the boards on tuesday and they were mailing out the 14th. Take a deep breath and relax. I know you did great,...

hanging...(jeapardy theme song...lol)
you hang in there too...did you take it on the 15th too? i know that there were a few or at least a couple of others on here that took it on the 15th in Ca...
Today is the day for you Alpha Dog!!! I can feel it... Here in a few hours you are going to open that envelope and read the words PASS, I just know it! Good luck everyone.
I was kinda upset yesterday after I got my results. I called my school to let them know I passed and I needed my check to mail out my fee for my lic. and they told me to go to the school and I could get it. I drive 45 min to the school, made a copy of my pass letter and told me my check should be ready in about a week! WHAT????? I told them that was unacceptable and I needed it no later than today! They told me they will try but no promises. I just can't believe the schools put you through this crap. I just don't understand it. Hope no one else has to go through this..

Wellp, I thought I felt it too...I couldn't sleep last night...the mail came today but NO NCLEX RESULTS...Maybe tomorrow? My friend thinks Monday... I tried calling the BVNPT again but their line is busy...BTW, how does the envelope look? and what does it say on the return label? Just dying to know because I didn't tell my parents that I took the exam and my mom usually grabs the mail before I do...some times she opens my mail too...This time though...I told her not to open any of my mail because I have important things coming in...thanks grievster...
oh, and how come you have to go to your school to pick up your check? what check? is it the check to pay for your license? you guys get a check? we have to pay for everything out of our own pocket...lucky...talk to you soon!

Dang it!!! I had that feeling today was the day. Well, lets hope tomorrow...
My envelope was 8 by 10, white, and on the top it says DCA (Department of consumer affairs) and next to that it says Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians and then the address. But I have heard of people getting small envelopes but since I have researched it, it sounds like if there is a problem with your background then it's small.
Our school paid for us to take boards and then once we received our pass letter we had to go back to the school get signed off at the placement and accounting dept. then they give us a check for $120 for the actual lic. then we have to mail it out. It was all included in our loans. I actually told them yesterday I couldn't wait a week and they called today and said I could pick it up. So I drove down there and just mailed it off at post office. I heard it takes up to 4 wks to get it back. That sucks. GOOD LUCK!!!:bowingpur

WOW! That's kinda cool. If I get my envelope and if I pass...(crossing fingers)...then I have to scrounge around for $120 to get my license. I am currently accepting donations. LOL. JK. I'm so broke. On a whim, I applied to 3 LVN positions at a nearby hospital. Hahaha. Anyway, yeah I have also heard that it takes 4 weeks to receive your actual license and I have also heard that you are not allowed to work until you have your actual license in your hands. But then I have also heard that you can drive down to the BVNPT office in Sacramento and pay for a Temporary License so that you can start working right away while waiting for your Permanent License...then again...you have to spend more money...I guess it depends how soon you want to start your practice...I'd like to start yesterday...LOL...Are you just gonna wait for your permanent license? You said you took the NCLEX in Ontario? Isn't Ontario farther from Sacramento than San Jose? I am so hoping to get my results tomorrow...the wait continues....la la la la la la la la........
Ontario is in southern california about 8 hrs away from Sacramento. I just really think it depends on if the boards are behind. One of my friends mailed hers out on the 10th and got her lic. on the 26th this was in Jan. and another friend that just sent for it in Feb. it took exactly 4 wks. California just loves to kill us with all this waiting. Excuse my lang. but it sucks. You can apply at the Veterans hospital. They actually give you 6 months to get your lic. and if you can prove you sent in your fees then you will get paid the normal. I put in my application so we will see. Our school told all of us in the very beginning work in as little as 13 months. Our program was 1 yr.We all believed that this whole process takes longer than a month.
Oh yeah by the way I can look in my car and see if I have some change to send you for your donations. LOL J/K. This whole thing I think has emotionally and financially drained everyone I think.... I totally know you passed so try to relax. I know, I know easier said than done....I will say a prayer for you tonight that you get your pass letter tomorrow....
