January 2018 Nclex

Published

Hi everyone! Any January 2018 test takers? I took mine yesterday from 2pm-7pm. I'm pretty sure I bombed. I did not feel confident, had a headache halfway through, and walked out of there feeling defeated. It was the longest 5 hours of my life and I didn't mentally prepare for it enough. I got home, did the PVT 2 hours afer, got the good pop-up. Tried again this morning, still the good pop-up. But i fear that I wouldn't pass the BON's quality check. The waiting game is making me anxious, so I'm hoping to just let it all out and keep myself distracted.

Cheers to everyone who passed! And for test takers, I couldn't emphasize it enough: go in there for a 260-item exam (I took this little tidbit for granted and ended up with a headache). Good luck!

I am in California. Took my test on 1/9 morning...feeling bad but still did the PVT afterward. It showed a good pop up sign. It's been the fourth day after my test but still not knowing my result. Which website did you check your result? I tried https://www.breeze.ca.gov/ but it showed "Internal Sever Error" for 2 days already....I am just freaking out about that....Are you guys able to go into that website?

I just logged in so it should be all good now :up:

I received my license in the mail today, which makes it 10 days after I took the test (just fyi for my fellow californians). I was expecting weeks and weeks of waiting.

Whats up guys. First of all im in California.

I took the nclex pn on January 4th and my buddy as well. I finished the test at 85 took me 2 hours an 20 mins to finish. I felt super lifeless after that test. I didn't know what to feel. I felt like i had no emotion. I felt like I knew 95% of content on the test but if i chose the right answers is another thing. I got around 30 SATA, 5 order questions, 5 exhibits, and a lot of priority questions. I don't think I bombed the test but I dont feel like i knocked it out the park either.

After finishing the test within 2 hours i received the Pearsons email to check quick results within 48 hours. FYI California doesnt do the quick results so now I am stuck waiting in purgatory for these results. I tried the PVT trick 5 times in 2 days and got the good pop up all the time. I keep checking the Cal Breeze website for license search and still nothing. When I did the log in on the Breeze webstie I see Vocational Nurse file # but no license info at all. All i can do is wait now.

Following up on my previous post. I received the DCA letter saying congratulations On thursday Jan 12. I emmediately paid the $150.00 license fee and they said the nursing board of california should update within the next 2 days. Should be updated by Monday Jan 15.

The PVT still does work but apparently the NCSBN site is really slow and is not showing results. So just wait for the letter n the mail. IT took a week for mine to come in.

Good luck all!

THe PVT is pretty accurate. It worked for me and some people I know who tested this past week. THe breeze website does work for me. Try another computer or your cell phone and create a log in account. THE NCSBN site is slow to update test results apparently.

So I took my nclex January 13th. I had around 85 questions with a bunch of SATA 2-3 drag and drop, 1 EKG. I felt pretty confident walking out. This is the 4th time I've taken the nclex. I took the 3 other attempts in NY, but this time I decided to visit family in FL and test there. It is now 72hrs later and I'm still getting my test results are on hold and there are no quick results available. I'm such a nervous wreck. I'm praying I passed this time. I'm just not sure what my results would be on hold. Could it be because I tested out of state?

Hi everyone! Good luck to everyone who will be taking the exam, congratulations to everyone who passed, and study hard/ don't give up to those who did not pass!

So I took my exam in California on monday, 1/8/18 at 2pm. I walked out unable to even speak because it was so hard; shut off at 80, ridiculous amount of vague priority questions, at least 30 to 40 SATA. I was so drained emotionally and physically.

I did the pearson vue trick at 24 hours and get the good pop up(received email from pearson about 30 minutes after my exam acknowledging I took the test), and I've been doing the PVT everyday since and getting the good pop up.

On the BON it still says "pending" under my application staus, and "open" when I click on it. Nothing comes up when I search for my name on the BON.

I called the BON on friday to make sure my file and pearson vue results came through and the women said everything was received and in order.

But now my friend, who just took his on friday 1/13/18, saw his results this morning on the BON! And every other person I talk to from class got their results within 24-48 hours!

Now that my friend got his, I'm starting to really worry about my results and why MINE is taking so long. I'm so happy for my friend, but he was my rock and I dont want to be a downer for him when it's his time to be happy and relieved!

I've been crying on and off all morning and wondering why my test is taking so long compared to everyone else. Does anyone know a possible reason why? The BON doesn't have answers.

Also did anyone get an email as well when they saw their results on the BON? and how long after did you get your results in the mail?

Thanks to anyone in advance if they have any information or ideas....I hate that I'm finally breaking down and being an emotional wreck about this....but everyday waiting feels like eternity...it's absolutely horrible :(

Also is there another way to check my results? In my BON application is says reapply/retake exam....but my application status says pending/open still.....has anyone tried to reapply/retake the exam on thr BON, while the status still say pending?

Sorry idk how to use this site. In response to Jessifer;

Keep checking the board of nursing site for that state. I am sorry the pvt comes up as an "on hold pop up" but I know that doesn't mean you did not pass definitively.! I think your deduction might be right (because you took it in a different state), but I read there are lots of reasons why it's on hold, things that don't even have to do with YOU i.e. they are have technical difficulties.

The wait for these results are paralyzing, I completely understand....took mine on the 8th and still waiting....catch up on some reading for pleasure (which we didn't have time for in school), go out for a walk, anything! I know it feels like it doesn't help much because it keeps popping into your head and reverberates there....but doing something that you love will help you! But ya, definitely check the BON and the status of your application since you are getting that pop up!

Oh actually I just realized I read on some old boards that pple taking the NCLEX for the second + time, will not be able to use the pvt trick, and get the hold pop up....idk if that is accurate though.

How do I check the status of my application?

You long onto the BON website and it should be on the lower left side, and should say "view application status."
