Nclex false passing results??

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

I just took my NCLEXPN exam 10/17/07

When I was sent a copy of my ATT (authorization to test) there was another attachment that mentioned I can get quick results for about $8.00 on the Pearson Vue website 2 Days after the exam. I checked today and it said passing status.

Has anyone checked this way before and get a letter from their state board saying otherwise????

Can't belive you passed can you?

I've never heard of anyone using Pearson and getting false results.

Congrats.

]Happy that you passed. In my day my class was the first group to take the NCLEX on the computer in my state and we had to wait if I remember correctly 3 weeks to receive the results in the mail. Love the modern computer age.

I took my boards on a Friday several weeks ago and although the Pearson notice stated it would take two business days before I could get the results online, I found out Sunday afternoon.

Then for another big surprise, my notice from the state of Missouri came the following Wednesday instead of the 2-4 weeks I was told.

Amazing when things work faster than they are "supposed" to.

Congrats.

Hi,

I had the same issues, because I took my test on a Saturday last year, and was told that the results would be available in 3 business days= Wednesday. That Monday, I decided to call just to test out the line and discovered that I passed. I was so nervous, thinking that maybe because I called early, I actually used someone else's ATT number that was not available to me until Wednesday. Called Pearson Tuesday morning and they explained that many times, depending on the volume of test takers, results are posted earlier than what they say, sometimes even the same evening. And, that there are no mistakes. You passed! Go celebrate and expect your license to be delivered shortly!

Thank You Guys for all that replied I appreciate it dearly.....how exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time

For the records I'm officially an LPN the biggest challenge is going to be searching for a job while finishing my last RN course For 08 Graduation

Congrats!!

Unlike here in California we have to wait for a month. Gosh Im willing to pay rather than be in this agonizing pain of not knowing. I'm trying to be positive but negative things keeps going in my head. I try to just forget about it and study some more just to prepare for the worse but it's just driving me nuts... So be very fortunate that now you can move on and get ready...
