Ncbon r/t nclex and it's results

[maaggie]

Ok, I want to share this with you if you live in NC. I have been an LPN for 2yrs. I completed the transition program from LPN-RN on 11/14/11. I took boards on 1/23/12 and failed at 75 qts. Took it again on 3/12/12 and failed running out of time at 251 qts. Finally passed on the 3rd attmpt on 5/14/12. The 1st time, I took it at the raleigh center. I didn't get the CPR from them to see how I did(strengths and weaknesses). The 2nd time, I did it at the Durham center. Got the CPR outlining the areas I was good in and the areas I needed to concentrate on. 3rd time, I did it again at the Raleigh center passing at 75 qts. I did the PVT on all 3 times. I got the CC page on the 1st and 2nd attempts. On the 3rd attempt, I got the GPU so I thought well, I'll not do the quick results because I trust the PVT. Well, to calm my nerves, I did the quick results and passed. I did not see my # on the boards' website counting on 10 days. I said wait a minute, something isn't right. I picked up the phone and started dialing some #s and emailing some folks to find out what was going on. I finally got somebody on the line who said i didn't turn in all my documents and until I do that, my # will not appear on the website. I said ma'am, I am a 3rd time retaker. I turned in every single document b4 testing the 1st time. I said It's impossible for the boards to send you your ATT knowing you haven't send in all required documents. She then said ok, I'll check into it and call you back in few minutes. I didn't get a call back. The next day I called again, nobody answered. I check my email and got an email from the boards with an apology saying it was their fault that my # wasn't up. Just before the day ended, my license # was up. All in all, it took 11 days to have my # posted. Have I not done anything and waiting for my # to show up, by now it will not be up. I heard ppl saying sometimes it takes 3-4 days or a week for your # to show up. Well mine was way over the limit. I am so excited but just wanted to share this with you if you live in NC. With all the stress I went thru, I really wanted to see that # up there so badly. From the 1st day I verified it on the website, the # stock in my head and I was saying it all day and even in my sleep. LOL. Good luck to you all planning on taking Nclex. Call if your # is not up in 3-4 days!!!!
