Part 1 (the original thread)--

Pearsonvue "Trick". Is this TRUE? Does it Work Every Time?

Poll to take once you have received your response--

Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

Here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the NCLEX exam on the pearson vue web site:

1) go to http://www.vue.com/NCLEX.

2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.

3) click 'register' on the right side.

4) click the 'credit card' link.

5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.

6) enter your username.

7) enter your password.

? click the button.

9) click 'register' on the left side.

10) select your test type.

11) click the button.

12) select your country.

13) click the button.

14) answer the yes/no questions.

15) select your country again.

16) select your state.

17) type in your city.

18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.

19) select your school.

20) select the month and year of your graduation.

21) select your board of nursing.

22) click the button.

Very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; It just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.

i took the CA NCLEX-RN last March 17. and tried the PVT right when i got home and up until now, still getting the "good" pop-up. but i wonder if it really works, i really hope so. everyday i spent waiting is like a day without breathing. anxiety level is still so high. :(

and if you took the exam on a thursday, when will you most probably see the result? thanks..

Im on the same boat as you are!!!

I took my exam last thursday, 3/17th, my 3rd attempt. The 2 exams failed and it let me go all the way to cc page. I tried the trick today and i got the good pop up page. Im hopeful i passed this time. Ive been checking CA BON since saturday my name is still not posted. And still not posted today. I have a friend that took hers on Thursday and saw her name on Tuesday, this was last year. So maybe this year is different? I was hoping mine would be the same. That's 5 days of waiting already. I didnt want to do the trick after taking my exam because I did that with the first 2 and i was really upset. So this time I thought I'll just check my name online. But it's not posted yet!!!

I'm crossing my fingers and praying that tomorrow our names would show up.

Bella,

hey did you get ur licensed already in the mail? im still waiting for mine...:yawn::yawn:

Hi Bettina! :heartbeat

Yes, I got the plastic wallet-sized license last week exactly 1 week from when I took the exam. The paper license comes a little bit later. I haven't gotten that one yet.

Don't worry, girl! You're an RN and yours will come, too!

:o

Yeah, they are slow. U should get it 1 week from when you took the test.

Bettina, why did u take your license exam in CA if you live in NJ?? Just curious.

i took my exam here in ca last march 16 and got the good pop up...still no official results...my friend who had his exam march 10 saw his name on the site march 16. im soooo stressed out and keep on doing the pvt...

Just finished taking the NCLEX-PN in the state of NY a few hours ago. I feel devastated, angry, confused, unsure and decided to do the "trick" because 48hrs is just PURE TORTURE. I havent read ALL of the post but the few that i did read and have gotten the "good pop-up" passed.

So i got the "good pop-up" which alleviates me a tad bit but i cant help but be a wee bit weary. I would be the one who gets the good pop up and still fails :'( .

Lastly, i know the # of questions doesnt determine a pass or fail. But unlike others who felt they had no chance of passing as they left the test center. I LITERALLY STARTED TO LOSE HOPE IN MY SEAT AT AROUND 150 QUESTIONS. I went the whole 205 QUESTIONS!!! So yeah. Thats my story. Hope isnt lost. I will be back in 2 days to share my news:cry:

ETA:

I keep doing the trick over and over because i just took it a few hours ago and i keep getting the "good pop up" i just cant help but feel like the trick is on me and say later tonight or tomorrow it'll go straight to the credit card payment:banghead:

Yeah, they are slow. U should get it 1 week from when you took the test.

hi bella,

i got married here in jersey n my husbands also a nurse here..

i originally applied for ca bcz i graduated from a foreign school. during the time that i applied for

my exam i was still in the philippines n i havent received my resident card yet n i still dont have an ss number.

since the ca bon doesnt need cgfns in order for me to qualify for the nclex

exam. i decided to apply for ca instead of nj or ny bcz these 2 states needed cgfns certifiation.

so there...hehehe..thanks again fo replying!

take care!

You are aware that you may still have to get CES from CGFNS to meet state requirements as a Foreign trained nurse?

really? i already got my permanent resident card and ss number.. i also looked at their website and they dont need ces verification for the transfer of license...

hey silverdragon,

i believe that the ces verification and cgfns thing only applies to those foreign applicants who are going to apply for a license in nj. But for licensure by endorsement they dont need CES verification. they only need a copy of my permanent resident card and ss number. and they also need to verify my license in california..

http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/nursing/inforequest.htm

The ces verification and the cgfns certification is for FOREIGN GRADUATE NURSES WHO ARE APpLYING FOR A LICENSE BY EXAMINATION..

in my case i am applying for endorsement..
