It's been over a week

Published

It has been over a week since I took my exam- I took it Monday the 27th of September and still no results are up on the California BRN site. I had been staying very hopeful that I might have passed BUT then I keep seeing classmates names pop up that took their exams after me. I took the whole exam (265 questions) and well I am guessing that I must of failed by now because nothing has popped up. I now need to figure out what to do next and am sad just thinking about having to give up my new job in the NICU :crying2:

It has been so hard to go into my orientation not knowing if I passed or failed and having my manager tell me she checks every morning to see if my name has come up. All the other new grads that have started w/me only got 75 questions and then told me they got their results posted in 2 to 3 days. One of them even made me feel really bad because she was like - OH MY GOSH I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE GETTING THE WHOLE EXAM-AND IF THEY DO IT's BECAUSE THEY MUST OF FAILED! I wanted to smack her 22 year old butt!

Anyways just felt like I had to post and vent because it was a yucky day.

I never heard any one finding out if they pass or failed in two day in califonina it usually takes 14-16 days . I would like to know where they found out they pass. I would to know. I took my test last tuesday i stop at 152> I feel the sam way that I failed.it's terrible that we have to wait too long.For now all we can do is try to think is taht we pass.

Hello,

I am also waiting for my result and I took it in California. I took it on the 22nd of September (just a little before you). I have been trying so hard to stay positive, but I do fall into a slump at times. My husband has been very supportive even though I am cranky in the morning because the first thing I do is to check for my name at the BON website and found out that I was not on there yet. I guess as long as we did not receive the letter saying that we did not, then there is still a chance that we might have passed. I am praying for you too.

Jep Jep how many questions did you get?

WannaBenurse2- I know how you feel!

As for my friends that got their results in 2 to 3 days-well it was because they would check the BON site and then clicked on LICENSE VERIFICATION and there names came up. I check for my name EVERY morning and nothing!

JepJep did you start a new job? I did and I love it and now I fear it being taken away. I cry every morning when I don't see my name on the site and then cry when I come home because I fear loosing my job. This is very stressful and thankgod my husband has been so supportive because I have been VERY moody and depressed.

I will keep both of you in my prayers.

Let me know when you guys know.

Lefthander1975,

I took up the whole 5 hours!!!! I only went up to 170-180 questions. I am not THAT slow of a test-taker, but I don't know how that happened. It didn't even seemed like I was sitting there for 5 whole hours. It felt more like 1 hour! I never would have imagined that I would take up the max time. So I am a bit scared. But all I can do now is hope.

I am starting on Monday, but I cannot continue after the orientation because I do not have a license to take care of patients. I too am sad that it will be taken away from me. But we have to think positive. Everything happens for a reason and things may seem bad now, but God has a better plan for us. We have to have faith! Stay strong!!!

I understand about taking the whole time. I took 4 and 1/2 hours and I took the whole exam (265 questions).

I know I have to keep the fait and believe things happen for a reason BUT it has been hard.

I love my new job in the NICU and I would hate to give it up.

I received my results in california within five days online, and i know some people who waited two weeks for it to come up online. I have several class mates who took the whole test (256) and passed.

Keep your head up and think positive! Good luck to you guys!

hey lefty, i took my exam for the third time on october 1, and I haven't heard anything yet either, i thought i did well, most of my friends here in CA, only waited 3 to 4 days before it was posted on the brn website. I guess the only thing we can do is sit and wait. I was allowed six hours to complete but the test shut off at 4 1/2.
