NCLEX-PN result taking forever...

I took my NCLEX-PN on Sept 18. Today is one day short of 4 weeks waiting period. I called the board today to find out the status and the lady said... "The technician is still working on Sept 16th." I asked her how long it would be till I receive my result, and she said to give about a week!!! :angryfire Maybe she just doesn't want to tell me I failed over the phone. :uhoh21:

I finished at 85 questions, I felt I guessed most of them. Just as how everyone felt after taking the exam. I got about 20 pharma questions (most of them, I've never heard of nor familiar with), only 1 math dosg, no lab values nor serum drug levels. About 1/3 of my questions are "select all that apply."

I'm HOPING the questions I missed and "select all that apply" would be the "sample questions"

Any one here had to wait so long for their result?

oh my GOD!!! I should expect approximately 2 more weeks of agony! :madface:

If you don't mind me asking, was your result good news?

A part of me thinking that it's taking a long time for me because they probably have to print out the Candidate Performance report :uhoh21:

Most states participate in Quick Results, and obtain their status within 48 hours. I am assuming you live in California, or I believe Texas, who have to wait 4-6 weeks. What torture! I wish you the best.

YES ma'am. I'm in california and I wish this darn state would participate in the quick result. I wouldn't care if I had to pay $100 to get the quick result, I'd do it.

Price is steep but to me, it's worth it because at least i won't be tossing and turning in bed every night or having palpitations throughout the day.

Six weeks is too long to wait. I took my test Sept 24th and 48 hrs later I found out I passed. My test shut off at 87 questions (LPN) my appointment was at 1:00 which I got there at 12:50 I walked out of the testing site it was 1:47. ONLY 47 MINs!!!!!! I cried and cried in the parking lot. In NC you pay the 7.95 internet or 9.95 over the phone to find out. I am now going on different interviews trying to find the perfect or near perfect facility.

Today, exactly 1 month after I took my exam -- I got the result in the mail. The result came in a huge envelope, I was kinda afraid to open it.

I found out that I have passed!!! whoo hoo...:balloons:
