NCLEX & the Native American

[Mescalero]

Hello everyone,

I recently took the NCLEX and while I sat for my test on the same day as several of my Caucasian friends I have not received my results; however, all of them have. I called the BRN and they are still reviewing my results. I also must mention that I filled out that general information page at the end of the test (which ask for your ethnic group) and as I have my whole life, put American Indian. I have always wondered if people still tend to place stricter expectation for us?

I guess my general questions is how long did it take for you to get your results?

Thank you so much

I think I can answer your question an emphatic no.

I'm sure you will hear in due time. Your race/ethnicity has absolutely nothing to do when you hear if you pass/fail.

Good luck!!!!!

Hi Mescalero,

Waiting for those results can be some of the longest hours we ever spend. Every nurse here can sympathize with you on that score. I really do not think your ethnic background has anything to do with this situation though. I wish you luck and I am sure you will hear something soon. Let us know the results. Have a blessed day.
