Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

hi fellow nurses, i took the nclex RN exam last friday oct 21 in CA, it's already tuesday and i haven't seen my name on CA BON website, im tryin to convince myself that i already failed. i just wanna vent out some of my frustrations. it's my 5th try...test shuts off at 90+ not sure the exact, from the start til the very last 2 questions i was answering questions that requires prioritization, initial intervention, and lots of delagations, i have no math question, i got one select all that apply and that's it, i'm pretty sure i got the last 2 questions right...im nervous still eventhough i know i failed already...i called the BON today just bec, i want to have a peace of mind and they told me that they haven't mailed my results yet that's all i got from them, they didn't even tell me that i can check it on their website..so it's not an option for me i guess so it's a hint that i didn't pass. it's been harder and harder to sleep and eat each day that passes not seeing my name on their website...well i know i already failed bec. its same as the previous attempts i made..the waiting and the instance looks similar except it's the 5th try...of all the 5 tries this last one i can say is different in terms of the content of questions, i never had so much priority and delegation questions before...still not convincing me that i did better. thanks for reading guys. i'm still praying and if it happen that you will remember this thread before you say your prayer please include me... i will greatly appreciate it. more power to all....

Please read some of the previous posts here.

I only recommend Saunder's Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN. It does the best job with the rationales, and that is the most important part.

If you took yours in CA, then you can be waiting up to one month for your results. They do not have any set schedule as to when results will be posted. Each file is handled manually, which means by a human.

But one suggestion, if you do not hear anything after ten days or so, and you were a graduate of a CA school, phone them to make sure that your file was complete. There could have been issues with your fingerprints, etc. They will not notify you if anything is missing, it is considered your responsiblity. But other than that, all you can do is wait.

I called them about the requirements and they told me that I don't have anything missing. so now i guess i just need to sit and wait for the result, good or bad i'll take it and get ready for the next try if i got the negative result. I was feeling ok when i was surfing the site seeing a lot of people giving opinions about priority questions. I've seen posts saying that it's a good thing, i think 60% of the 91 questions i got is prioritization, delegation. I also got a lot of question concerning a nurse being a spokesperson in a community conference and hospital conference regarding some health concerns and teachings. i can still remember my last question before it shuts off. i know i got the last 2 questions correct. hope this is good.

You did the right thing in calling to be sure that your file was complete. Sometimes that holds everything up in CA. There's still hope from what you described: you got a lot of priority and delegation questions, and that's a good thing. I know that the wait is terrible, but hang in there and remember, it can take about a month before you know anything.

Best of luck to you... don't give up!

thanks a lot. i appreciate it...called them again today and still status is not available, they just have my old file status but for the recent test i took the lady said it's not in their system yet, so result is still pending and they haven't been touched...when checked if there is a decision yet, the lady said there's none, bec she said she can tell me if there is a decision made already but she just can't tell pass or fail, but in my case there is none yet as of this time, i'm crossing my fingers...i am praying so hard each day hoping to pass.
