First, I just want to thank everyone that comes to this website to share his or her experience. This website literally keeps people alive and going during some tough times. You might not know it, but there are tens of people out there that quote this website each day.
My journey with the Nclex-RN in California started on the 2th of December. I took the Nclex, I went home and tried the PVT, and it gave me the good pop-up. 24 hours and 4 days later, I was still getting the good pop-up. A week passed and no result or license, I was anxious to say the least, as some of my classmates got their license within 48 - 72 hours after taking the exam.
I always came to this website to get some courage as the weeks rolled by. Finally on 31st of December, I got my license. The long wait was over.
My main reason of writing today is that through my experience, I found out that the pearson vue trick is not a trick. It is the way the computer is programmed. If one fails the Nclex, it will take your money or decline your card accordingly (for insufficient funds or being invalid). The so called trick works perfectly.
Secondly, If you live in California, and you get the good pop-up after 24 hours of taking the Nclex, you passed. The waiting time has to do with the BRN taking so much time to process files. Keep strong and keep faith, you will get your license.
I took my NCLEX this morning around 8am. Got done around 10am. Got an email 2:40pm from the Wisconsin Department License saying "COngratulations: Your license has been approved." I check and saw that I'm listed on the license. So i'm still not sure what to think.

I don't believe the "scored second time around 24 hours" is true. Here in Florida, you usually have a license number issued to you by the 24 hour mark. Especially if you took it early in the AM that previous day.
Ex. Taken at 8am on Tuesday, license was posted by 6am Wednesday....so less than 24. I think NOBODY can say when the second scoring actually does occur.

Scored within 24 hours it may be one it may be 24 but the second scoring is always completed by the 24 hour mark. Hence why you had a license in 22 hours, which most definitely is within 25 hours.

If I don't believe grass is green.....does that make me correct? No?.....well.....
Maybe I should go this way:
OMG, Felicia, you are SO right! Why, Florida is entirely different than the rest of the country when it comes to NCLEX! What you believe most definitely trumps everything that the NCSBN (who designs and produces the NCLEX) has to say about it!
Ok, now seriously: Back to the facts.
Each and every NCLEX IS put through a QA/QI review AT SOME POINT during the 24 hours following the exam's completion. This has been said repeatedly, all over these forums. OBVIOUSLY no one knows precisely at what point the review will occur, nor is it in the least bit relevant. The POINT of using a 24-hour mark as a guide when playing with the PVT is because that is the longest period of time it will take. If results are concluded at the 15 hour mark, 20 hour mark, or 23 hour mark, then that is when the results will be transmitted to the State BoN that is receiving them.
One person may have results at the Florida BoN at Hour 18. Another not until Hour 23.5.
Wait a minute.....did you just talk down to me? I don't take that. These others may but I'm not the one. I'm done with you! I was not even rude.....
I DID find you rude. I found your assertion that other people who have been discussing this at length, with considerable knowledge, to have no idea what they are talking about rude. I found your statement of disbelief to be rude.....so yes, I responded in kind.
I'm ok if you're done with me, if that's going to be how you respond to people who are only trying to help those who are seeking it.
Make yourself really useful and help me delete my account. I hate this place. I don't understand why I bothered to come here for help or encouragement. Especially with people like you just being hateful and rude.

Um I didn't find the other comment to be rude. I find you RNsRWe to be rude. Who makes you an expert? I have done my research on this topic as well. Everyone has different experiences with retrieving their results and can be very encouraging to others. Yes, they score it twice. But really come on, does the score change more often then not the second time around?
