hi!
took the nclex exam for pennsylvania board last july22. i stopped at 75 and can't barely remember any questions from the said exam but until now i haven't got my results yet. does that mean i failed? i have friends that took the same board but received their results within a week. i feel awful...i'm already freaking...with all the nightmares and everything....! anybody help?....

Don't frustrate yourself by thinking about it too much. Maybe you did better than you think like most everyone else who posts here. :)

Good luck to you and be back to post the good news.

It's the license verification page. If you passed they will have issued you an RN license. Good Luck!!! 75 questions sounds promising :)

P.S. Usually the results are posted on the website 48 hours later...2 business days

OOPS should have read your whole post first...guess you already know how to check the results... :rotfl:

My friend and I took the boards on July 13 at 8:00a.m. My other friend took the boards on the 13th as well but at 2:00p.m. She is STILL waiting for her results. She has called Harrisburg and they told her it could take 2 - 30 days...Hang in there :rolleyes:

TO CHICKY: Yes, have tried the site even before I posted my message here. Anyways, thanks for your advices. Can't do anything but WAIT...for the official result. I just hope the long wait is worth it! God bless! :)

HANG IN THERE!!

The longer the time goes by, the easier it becomes to start questioning yourself....but don't let any doubt set in!!

Try to stay positive....I wish you the best of luck :)

I don't know what to think anymore. It is such a torture waiting the result (almost 3 weeks now). Most of my friends have get their result online. They were no longer listening to me anymore since they got their licenses. I need to stop calling them and wait quietly by myself.Sorry! I just feel piss off because I just got off the phone.

My friend who took the boards on July 13 just found out she passed. She had 260 questions and called just about every day. She had her new boss call and inquire about her license this morning. Apparently employers are privy to such info when the test takers themselves aren't. My friend did give her boss her SS#, address, testing date and site. She's kicking herslf and thinking she should have done this weeks ago. Do you have an empoyer who can call for you???? :rolleyes:

Get this, when her employer called the secretary said "I'm sorry, we'll get a license right out to you" The employer was stunned. You mean she passed and you haven't let her know it yet??? Absolutely no explaination given for the long wait. SOOO don't panic. It will more than likely have a happy ending :icon_hug:

Thanks for your advice!! I called the BON on thursday to ask them if anything was missing to hold up my result, lucky for me a very nice lady answered my call. She said "there was no result whatsoever in her computer at all and you took NCLEX on 7/1? The result should have transmitted to the BON within 24-48 hours.It is good thing that you called to catch the problem. It may be some communication problem between pearson and BON.Give us sometime to investigate and somebody will call you back"

My God! They lost my result? I don't know how much longer I have to wait, I

am very depressed and upset about this whole experience.

My friend called earlier and they told her they'd investigate and call her in the afternoon. They never called her back. She called again 2 days later and a very nice woman told her "Sorry honey, they lied to you. They won't begin an investigation until 30 days have gone by." So on the positive side for you, it has been more than 30 days so you shoulld have an answer soon

Prayers flying your way :saint:

Thank you so much! I will call them every day next week.

By the way, did your friend pass?

RaggedyRN · Aug 7, 2005

OOPS...sorry. I thought I made myself clear. Yup she passed and I'm sending positive vibes your way. :wink2: I feel like I know what you are going through. I just went through this with Heather (my friend) and it was so tough. I know she was happy for me but dying to know how she did. It's the waiting that sucks especially when you know most of your friends have received their results. :madface:

Keep calling and keep me posted.

God Bless,

chickey

By the way, did your friend pass?
