NCLEX torture

nupsgrad · Jun 17, 2005

I took my test on 06/15, and I was told the results are available on Pearson EXACTLY 48 BUSINESS AFTER. So I finished my test at noon, and my result was available at noon 2 days later! I did pay the $7.95, and I would have paid a lot more just to find out! IT SAID I PASSED! I could not believe it, because I felt I did not do well on the test at all.....Surprise! I know how you feel, so give yourself another day and then check....don't drive yourself crazy(like me). YOU TOO WILL PASS!!!

Ok so I took the test yesterday and I know for sure that I got 3 questions wrong, and it stopped me at 109...I don't even remember what the last question was. My pre-NCLEX self was a rational human being and I have turned into a sleep deprived, obsessively checking the website to see if I passed monster. I am certain that I failed, and I hear that everybody feels that way, but seriously I failed. WHY DO THEY MAKE US WAIT SO LONG? The evil little computer knows if you passed or failed when it shuts off, why won't it just tell you????
Since 15 of the questions are 'experimental' I have also been obsessing over what if the majority of the questions I got right where experimental and didn't count or what if all the ones I didn't know where experimental...
They need to start a daycamp for post-NCLEX takers to go while they await their results. They could have craft projects for us to do, soothing music, snack time, and grief counselors available if the news just ain't good.
Seriously somebody help me...I'm going to go check the website just one more time...

Hi! I will keep my fingers crossed for you to pass! :) I know waiting must totally bite! I'll be in your shoes in 14 days! I had to tell you how much I laughed when I read what you wrote about having a day camp for post-NCLEX takers with soothing music, snack time, etc!!! too funny! don't forget nap time! lol I find myself taking naps every other second while i'm doing my fifty gazillion practice questions! Anyhow-good luck! :)

Here in CA we do not have quick results. I took mine 8 days ago and still waiting. The board told me 2 weeks, but I am waiting for the mailperson everyday.

Waiting sucks

Yes, yes it does. I think I've checked the website approximately 345,789 times. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than waiting for the mailman. Anyways I feel your pain and good luck to you!! Lemme know the good news!!

Hi miniNYnurse,

Sign me up to your decompressing camp when it's started. (LOL)

Here in Delaware we don't have quick results either, but you can go to our State Board of Nursing page and there's a list of nurses. As soon as you pass the NCLEX your name goes up on that page. It only takes about 2 - 4 days after the NCLEX. Don't know if that works in CA, but it's worth a shot.
