Im new here...still worried and waiting for my nclex-rn result

Published

hi everyone! I took my nclex-rn last sept. 7, 2007 and i shut down around 170-190. When i reached 75 items and my computer did not stopped...I got nervous but...I was expecting to finish till 265...actually this is my 4th exam...my first one i shutdown at 265, second one is 75, my 3rd exam was not finished because of an incident, and here I go again...I was worried because I never heard test takers shut down same as my no. and passed! i had 2 select all that apply, 3 computations but 1 computation from that 3 is just guessed because i dnt know the conversion. Most of the questions where prioritization and delegation. I am a california board and dont have SSN thats why i need to wait for 2-4weeks! it really tortures me! i don't know what to do if i fail again...but I trust God that he''ll make even the most impossible to be possible! by the end of the month i will be receiving my test result..i hope its a small envelope because they say small envelope means u passed! God is good! Goodluck to u guys out there who are about to take or waiting for the result just like me!

:lol2:

Too bad they will not tell you if you pass or fail! I also sent emails to the BON but they did not replied to any of my emails! I also checked our mailbox almost everyday...I guess if you wait...the longer it will be! During my 2nd week I am really freakin out waiting but on my 3rd week I stopped checking our mailbox and started to redirect myself to something like chatting, watching favorite movies, shopping, playing with my niece, etc. When my result came, I was eating my lunch then our maid gave me the envelope...upon holding it...I was really screaming coz Im pretty sure I passed coz its a small envelope! Then I called my mom telling the goodnews...then we started to cry! :o

I know you can do it! just be patient!!! Goodluck!:balloons:

I just got the result and it is a big envelop! I failed huhuhu!:crying2::crying2::crying2: I thought I will pass but I didn't make it... I'm on my denial stage...But what to do... I have to accept that I failed.. I WANT TO DO A RETAKE.. Do I need to wait for 45 days to pass for reapplication? Or can I apply it now..Still, I'm not losing any hope... Do I need to change and the testing center so I have a possibility to passed? Does it matter? Thanks for your advises!

i'm so sorry glaiden! I felt bad when I read your post...don't loose hope...I already failed twice before...I know exactly how u feel! You can submit your reapplication to the BON even if its not yet 45days but you cannot take the exam yet! wait for 45 days before you schedule your exam! Thats what I did, 3 days after I got my failed result, I submitted my reapplication then it takes almost a month before my confirmation arrived so its just timing for the 45days policy! You focus more on your review...do your drills everyday and if you think you need more help and u can't review on your own, u can review again in a review center! I do drills from lippincot 8th ed, exam cram, mosbys, kaplan question trainer and the one I like most the springhouse 3000. Start as soon as possible...try to answer at least 50-100/day. Don't read cover to cover...just practice then if you don't know about a certain topic...check it on the book! Don't change your testing center..its not true that its easy or hard to pass in other testing sites. I took my first exam in guam, second in sanfo but I failed! When I took my third in manila...I passed! I dont believe that its easy to pass in other testing sites..it depends on what the computer will give you! Study hard this time! focus! you can do it! Goodbless!;)

hello! i took my nclexrn exam last sept.29. it stopped at 265. Im so worried.. I got 6-7 select all that apply and most of the questions are prioritization and delegation. The last question i think was a prioritization question.. i check Ca BON for their license check i typed my name there and no records found. The last update of their website was October 1. Im from the philippines and have no SSN. Is it possible to see my name in the Ca BRN license check or iL just wait for the mail? thanks!

Hello! i took my nclex-rn last sept.29 and the exam stopped @ 265. Got 6-7 select all that apply and most of the questions are prioritization and delegation. My last question i think was a prioritization. I'm so worried.. few minutes ago I checked the California BRN website for the license check. The site was updated October1. I typed my name and no records returned. Does it mean i failed the exam? Also, i dont have a SSN.. Is it possible to see my name in the Ca BRN license check or iL just wait for the mail? thanks..

Hi and welcome to the site

It is hard to predict, some people pass with max questions and some fail. Because you are overseas and no SSN you have to wait for mail to be delivered and looking at over 4 weeks approx. I would also suggest you check out the International forum especially on retrogression as you are looking at few years before moving to the US and unless you apply to another state for license your file with CA will cancel in 3 years. Suzanne yesterday did a sticky regarding CA and license and I really do advise you to read it

Good luck

Does Kaplan online review will help a lot? How about Mosby? Some of my friends told me that Mosby is confusing so they advise me not to read Mosby...But some says that mosby one of the best reviewer...now, I am confused. I'll do a retake as soon as I am prepared...I hope this time I'll gonna make it..Or else I think I'll be on the psychiatric ward..haha! just kidding! :)

hey glaiden...I've tried the kaplan online review but i didn't finished it until it expired! hahaha...I've also tried NCSBN but same as kaplan...haven't finished it! Mosby is a good reviewer too! but in my own experience, I would sometimes answer 20 from mosbys, 20 from lippincot, etc. I see to it that I've tried questions from different authors...and there you will see the differences...but they would not differ in the rationale...just different way of question. But my favorite reviewer is springhouse3000 it really helped me! Im not making you more confused ok...all reviewers are good...it sometmes depends on the reviewee! what is important is that your familiar with the nursing topics so that you could easily answer whatever questions they might give you! Its better to be prepared!!! Study hard!
