NCLEX-RN results in CA, is it true?

Published

Hello, my first post here, please help me if you can. I just took the NCLEX-RN on Thursday, June 1st. I haven't seen my name yet on the CA BRN website doing a license search. I know CA doesn't participate in quick results, but I have heard that the BRN will show your name and license number within 2 days if you have passed. Is this always the case or have some of you not seen your name for more than two days after taking the test and still passed? Thanks for your help!

Same here, i took it on The same date for the LPN. I called the board & they told me to wait for 3-4 weeks in the mail. Website for the LVN is not updated. With RN website, wait for 3-5 business days. I did take the RN CA few months ago. I knew i failed coz i didn't really study. In a week, i got my result in the mail. What type of questions did you get? When did your PC shut off? I believe you will pass. Wait til Friday. Relax!

It can take 2-2weeks to show up on the BRN website for California.

It took one of my friends a little over 2weeks for her name to appear on the site.

if there is any problems (for example with your fingerprints) your name will not appear, even if you pass.

It may be a good idea to call them and make sure that there is no problems.

How many questions did you get?

I just took it yesterday and I got 75 and I am stressing. It sucks we dont have quick results here. It sure would save us a lot of missery.

Good luck to all of us!!!!

hello there! I took the NCLEX-RN last wednesday (a week ago) and I have a feeling there may have been a problem with my finger prints because the lady who was administering the finger prints made me give my print FIVE times! did that happen to anybody else or just me?!? My name is still not on the BRN website.

I would call them to find out if there is a problem with your fingerprints.

that is what happened to my friend and it delayed getting her results.

thanks all for the advice. I just called the BRN and they told me that my file is complete. That was all the info. they gave me. Not sure if that is a bad sign or just that they can't say much more than that. I guess I will just wait for my official results in the mail. By the way, does anybody know how long you have to wait to retest in California?

Well, when I took my test, the administrator took my fingerprints so many times & it was unsuccesful. He kept on telling me to relax. Right after the test, he took it again. Wow, it went thru. I guess he was right. I was just nervous. When I took my RN few months ago, I got my result in the mai for almost two weeks, I failed. But I took my LVN on 6/01/06, I called BVNPT & was told to just wait in the mail for 3-4 weeks & firmly clarified licensees on the website are the old nurses' names. They are not posting names in the website unless we paid a certain amount, that is if when we pass the test. This applies w/ the LPN. I guess, I'll just have to wait in the mail. I read a lot of replies for waiting, & those who were from CA had waited for 2-4weeks to get their results in the mail & yet their names weren't posted yet in the BVNPT website. Tsk...tsk...I did something useful today. I applied in a facility hospital, they hired me for a medical records/front desk position. They will keep me until I become a nurse. What a relief. At least I have something to fall back on. It's not just I'm not optimistic w/ my result. It's better to have something than nothing. It's now time for me to seriously study on my RN test. Hurray, I got a job to pay my re-application for RN test. He-he. Prayers really help. I went to church yesterday. I prayed for all of us guys. For goodluck. I got one luck today...my employer wanted me to start tomorrow. Seemed so supported w/ me & very positive that I will be an official nurse...who knows days from now. :balloons: LET US ALL PRAY TOGETHER. IF IT IS OUR TIME, IT'S OUR TIME. I've learned so much on this experience. I never encountered such failure in my life esp when it comes to career. I took my local board overseas, I was included in the 20th highest examinees nationwide, as in the whole country. I accelerated in everything. I was able to come to the US w/o hardship due to my excellence in my job (Government Officer) & being smart on my field. I didn't practice my RN license for 12 years. Humbly speaking, when I took my Rn test few months ago, I was really depressed. I kept on asking myself, I'm not dumb or something. I really can't concentrate w/ my study. Later on, I realized. I was just overconfident w/ myself. I thought things will always come out the way I expect it to be. So when I took my Pn test a week ago, could you Imagine the stress again on my part. I said, HUH! Another NCLEX test. Anyways, God knows what is meant for me. No matter what, he will always gonna be beside me & HE will soon give me the title "NURSE". PRAYERS!PRAYERS!PRAYERS! YOU GUYS ARE INCLUDED IN MY PRAYERS.
