Hi kikijo,

Have you tried to look up your name on board's web site? I think this is the most reliable way to check whether you made it or not. Good luck hopefully you passed.

So i took my boards for the multiple time...I tried the Pearson test in the
past it took me to the cc page and indeed i had failed. This time i tried and
got the good pop up i couldn't believe it so I exited the window went back in
and tried it again...then it took me to the cc page...*****!? what is going on?
its as messed up as what was going on at Pearson today with computers! Mine kept
locking up first I got the blue screen at 30 then I couldn't see what problem I
was even on after that...it gave me a break and took another 5min after me
saying no to come back up and I had no calculator for dosage calc problems, the
timer didn't show to see how long I had left for my test either...when I brought
this up to the lady there she simply said "we know of the problem and are
working on it; but don't worry none of these issues will impact your
results"......REALLY!!! I said to her "how about my anxiety" yeah she didn't
seem to care to much....some how i feel like today was ALL bad. i checked with
the states site and tried to register with them...got a pop up there "please
contact during normal office hours"....it was normal office hours. I gave up
after that....ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? OR HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER HAPPEN TO
THEM? SERIOUSLY THIS IS MY LIFE...
And on a side note 1/2 my questions were select all that apply and 1/2 were
"after attending a inservice which best describes...."
I SERIOUSLY COULD JUST QUIT AND GIVE UP

Go to this webisite and provide your information this will ease some anxiety. This site proived quick result for licensure verification

good luck

for that website how long do you have to wait after you test, tried it and it said no results found for me..

karen2012 · Apr 3, 2012

Far as I know once the board issues a license number, results can be found on that website.

Select all that apply are actually good questions it means you are doing well and the exam is challenging you.

Nursys listing depends on how often your BoN uploads to the database. You should first check your states online verification system. In NJ, my license appeared on the state website a full 10 days before it apeared on Nursys since NJ only uploads license data once a week on the same day every week.

Does your state participate in quick results? Even though a fee is involved it might be worth it for peace of mind.

thanks everyone. however my master plan this time was to take them the 2nd so i could get my results today which is my dads birthday and give him some good news (hasn't been a good year)....i see that plan in the trash can now...i did not pass this was my 5th attempt at taking them. it will be interesting to see results when they come. so far each time i have been "above passing standard" in all areas but one; however each time i test that area changes. i have taken so many review courses and spent so much $$ and now everywhere i have applied doesn't even want to hire me as a LPN cause i graduated with my ADN and they think i will leave once i pass boards....i think it might be time for me to accept this test has won and move onto something else...

I know exactly how you feel. I graduated in 2010 RN program and still not passed . I have taken it four times and failed. It just sucks I know. I have got tons of nursing review books and have taken multiple review courses. I am about to give up. This test should not keep us from being a nurse. Keep trying. I am. It is hard I know but we need to defeat this!

One question: if this test (which you have failed multiple times) should not keep you from being a nurse, then what should?

The test is a minimum competency exam, much the same as is required for every professional licensure I can think of.
