NCLEX TEST TAKERS: Just a quick question.

Published

Were you afraid to look @ your Nclex results? Did you look @ your results alone or have a support system with you???

I made sure I was sitting down and I was alone anyway.

I was alone in the room but not alone in the house. If I had failed, I would have rather been a sobbing mess by myself first before telling everyone else. ;)

I only told my husband and a couple of my VERY close friends that I was taking boards. I still havent told my family and I took it this morning. I want to wait til I pass...so Ill def be by myself when I check official results. If things ended bad, I certainly wouldnt want the world there to cry with me. I got the popup, but still....in nursing school, I would always put my hand on the computer screen and slowly move it away -- crazy I know, but its the way I dealt with it. Probably will be the same way I check my pass/fail on pearsonvue lol

I checked for my results ALONE! I came home right after taking it and got the pop up screen. And then 2 days later, I got the quick results that I passed! That's when I updated my status on Facebook and told my entire family and all my friends. I didnt tell too many people I was taking NCLEX, just in case I failed, I needed time to regroup and refocus. But I passed and it's all behind me now.

Well my close family and friends knew I was taking it. That was pretty much it. I did not want to let a lot of people know IN-CASE I FAILED. That would have been awful.

I did the Pearson check alone (hubby was outside in the yard). My heart was beating so LOUD AND FAST. I was nervous. I got the 'famous' pop-up and felt a bit at ease. I called a nursing buddy to ask her about the pop-up and she was like 'You are an RN!' I was like "oh my gosh!!!" and I started screaming and crying. Sure enough, in 48 hours, I learned I PASSED!!! When it was official, I told everyone and posted it on Facebook. GOOD LUCK!!

I checked it with my manager and my preceptor. I was pretty confident that I passed or else I would have checked it alone. We were all jumping up and down when it said pass on the quick results.

How long after taking NCLEX do you have to wait to try the Pearson trick? Would an hour be enough time?

I believe you have to wait until is says 'delivery successful'. Then you can try it.

Best wishes to you!!! :up:
