NCLEX-pn already taken

Published

Hi! I just took my nclex on the 2nd in Greenville, NC and am waiting word on pass/fail. I had 140-160 questions (not really sure since the last time I looked I was on 123 and did some questions before it clicked off) The max for LPN is 205 and the min is 85. I think the waiting for the results is worse than anything...I am constantly calling to verify (in NC there is a number you can call and check) and am not sure how long it takes for it to come up. Some in my class found out as early as 2 days and some as late as a week and a half.(the girls I took it with have not heard anything either) but I know that Labor Day will slow my results being processed down some.....I am driving my husband and my kids crazy because I am so stressed and positively obsessed with wanting to know either way...

If I give any advice about the NCLEX it would be to relax the night before and before the test starts (we went down the day before and stayed the night in a hotel),,,, and try your best..you have no clue how many questions you are going to get so don't freak if it keeps going after the minimum..I keep telling myself if I did not pass I will take it again with the knowledge of what it will be like and what to expect...and the only bad thing is that I will be out another $200.00.:)

Take care and good luck!!!

I also took my NCLEX-PN last week in Greenvile on Sept. 1. I had 85 questions and I can't remember but one that I got right. That was the very last question about s/s of DKA. I hate that NC does not have the quick results because the wait is killing me. I know that a license number will not be issued to you until your criminal background check is cleared and that takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks. NC does send you a letter about a week after you have taken the test to let you know if you've passed or not. This holiday weekend has made the wait even worse. I'm ready to go to work and stop stalking the mailman! Good luck to you.
