I took my NCLEX PN 3 weeks ago and I got the 205 questions and I was sitting there for the entire 5 hours. The longest and most painful 5 hours of my life. I walked out of the Gardena center in Los Angeles (it is the center that is known for very few people passing) in devastation. I was shaking so bad that I couldn't even drive. I was sitting in my car for a while before I could feel my arms and legs. The questions were horrible. the test kept throwing the same questions at me. I got a lot of infection control and a lot of respiratory and metabolic acidosis I knew I had failed. I get home text my instructor, he says do the Pearson Vue trick. I did and it said I could take the test again and it gave me the credit card page. He said for sure I had failed. My supervisor at work said I can check the license online and I kept checking and NOTHING would come up with my name. I told everyone that I didn't pass. I went to see a therapist to manage my anxiety and stress levels.
I started studying again. Started from chapter one within the three weeks that I received my results I took more than 1000 questions. I cried my eyes out. After three weeks the letter came to mail and I PASSED. I PASSED. I can't imagine myself happier than this. I had told everyone that I had failed and now I had to explain to everybody about the PEARSON trick.
Don't lose hope. The trick doesn't work or at least here in CA. The license will not be issued because you have to pay and sign a release of information before they make your info public.
