IP become invalid if you fail NCLEX????

Mississippi_RN · Feb 18, 2006

I know it does...but I heard that a way to get your results of NCLEX faster is to check to see if your IP is still valid. Rumor has it when you fail the BRN will show that it has expired. In CA it takes forever to get results. So I was just wondering if this was a MYTH??? Not that I think I failed. LOL:clown:

Maybe this is a slow question, but... IP??? I guess I don't know what that means...

I think it means Interim Permit

Couldn't tell you about whether it will show up as expired before you would get your NCLEX results though.

It's an interm permit. While waiting for results you can pay a little extra to get a permit. It lasts for 6 months. But if you fail it becomes invalid. Or so I've been told.

Your IP doesn't get cancelled until your file is reviewed, and you are notified that you did not pass.

But until that time, you are just going to drive yourself crazy.

You are just trying to read everything into this, and it is not going to make one difference. You need to wait until you get your results.

And for the others of you out there, some states grant what they call an Interim Permit, or soemthing by a similar name, where the student has met all requirements for licensure except taking the NCLEX-RN exam. Essentially once the exam is taken the IP becomes null and void, once the results are out. The student has either passed the NCLEX-RN and is now an RN, or did not pass, and can no longer work under that title or job description.

Thanks for answering all of my questions. I'm over it finally. I have heard all these rumors and I just wanted some answers. I don't know why this stupid test bugs me so bad. I've gone stir crazy all day and I know I'm going to feel like an idiot when I get my PASSING results. I should be out enjoying my time off before work starts. Thanks for your help.

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I took the NCLEX on 1/13 and did not pass. My IP license is still popping up as valid on the BRN website. I was wondering about the same thing while waiting for my result.

When did you find out that you did not pass? Did you receive a letter form your BON? Once you recieve the letter that you failed, your IP no longer is valid.
