March 2008 NCLEX support group

Ok, I took my test last Thursday the 11th. I got 265 questions, my friend got 75 (took it the same day). People (in Cali) have been getting their results in about 3 days. When my license didn't post I was sure of a failure so I tried to call the BRN and 'due to matters beyond control' their phone system was down. I checked the website again today and I was redirected to Department of Consumer Affairs stating that the BRN website was undergoing maintenance...is there ANY chance I still passed? I'm thinking it's possible that between the phones and website being down that maybe MY NAME was not updated? It's my last thread of hope. Is there ANYONE out there in Cali who took their test the 11th or later and got their results? Anybody have any similar experience?

sorry but not everyone have been getting their results in 3 days, some are still waiting and BRN website indicates 2-4 weeks to get results

Silverdragon, thanks for the response. Do you know of anyone in Cali who took their test around the same time? I read as many threads as I could, but most dont indicate what state. I know people who took theirs on the 10th (the day before me) and received theirs.

Please check out the International forum and the primer called Working in the USA and also the threads on not taking local boards much has already been written. You can find the International forum under the region tab

gwafuh_2busrn has been waiting longer. There can be a delay if file not complete or if the person manually checking your results has lots to do

hi dramaqueen,

congrats on completeing the nclex. I also took the test this march. I passed( 75). don't let that discourage you. As you know you can fail at 75 or pass/ fail at 265. I will pray for you.

keep us posted

why would you passing at 75 questions discourage me? Did I miss something?

Hi there...

I took the NClex yesterday March 17 at 8am and i am making myself crazy awaiting for th "quick" results. The computer stopped after 77 questions but I don't think i did very good. It is the harder test i ever took!! Good luck to everyone!! :confused:

Took the NCLEX-PN today. I had a 3.7 GPA in school and scored 85% on ATI (which = 99% chance of passing NCLEX) in school. I'm not bragging, actually those facts didn't even come into play when I sat down to take that menacing test. I had no confidence today. I'm totally unsure if I passed or not. I haven't had 5 minutes to study since I graduated school Feb 9. However, I started working as a nurse at the nursing home where I have been a CNA for 3 years. My husband tells me that the month of working as a nurse was study enough. I didn't believe him until I took that test this morning and I know I answered at least 5 questions right because of issues I was dealing with at work in the past week. Three other girls from my class have already taken the test and passed! i should find out tomorrow after 9AM.

My supervisor told me that if you're sure that you passed the test when you're finished, then you probably didn't. If you think you failed, then you probably did pass. I hope she's right. Any other words of wisdom as I go through one more sleepless night?

Wouldn't agree with that, knew first time that I failed and I did. Seen others post on here they came a way feeling ok and passed. Very hard to predict.

Welcome and good luck
