HI EVERYONE, I TOOK MY BOARDS ON FRIDAY IN CA GOT 75 QUESTIONS AND THE COMPUTER SHUT OFF, I AM FREAKING OUT , I FEEL LIKE I FAILED THE TEST. I KEEP CHECKING TO SEE IF THE UNOFFICIAL RESULTS HAVE BEEN POSTED AND I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "Your Board of Nursing does not participate in the Quick Results Service" ON THE PEARSONVUE.COM/NCLEX WEBSITE. I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THERE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT 4-6 WEEKS FOR THE BOARD TO SEND ME MY RESULTS, THE THING IS THAT I KNOW A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT TOOK THE BOARDS AND GOT UNOFFICIAL RESULTS 2 DAYS AFTER, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN CHECK IF I PASSED OR NOT? OR DO I REALLY HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG?

Try checking your board of nursing site and see if you're a nurse!

I agree. Just keep checking. There isn't really anything else you can do if your state isn't a quick results state. I can't even imagine trying to live a normal life for 4-6 weeks after taking boards! Good luck vibes being sent!

Go the BRN website and do a search under "license verification." If your name pops up, you know you passed and are officially an RN... plus you'll have your license number for applications and resumes. I was able to verify that I passed after 3 days.
This may not help... but I too had the computer shut off at 75 q and was convinced that I failed. Try to hang in there!!

If it stops at 75 you either did great or pretty bad. Think positive!

You might want to look at the Pearsonview Trick discussion thread (all 690 pages!!!). The trick worked for me (in Ohio).

GOOD LUCK!

Mine shut off after 75 questions, and I passed. Don't panic, you probably did just fine.
