Is it true that you can check if your classmate passed or failed the NCLEX?

Yes dear just like everyone else already stated its public record. Here in Texas you can check your classmates license you just go to BON and do license verification, type in the first and last name and if they have a license it will show and also when it was granted but will not release the license number.

Wow. That is crazy. But i understand why this is true; assurance that who you hired or who cared for you is licensed.

What's crazy about it? That professional licensure shouldn't be a matter of public record? Or that you think that professional licensure is somehow related to HIPAA? or ?? Help me out here.
