Thank you everybody for all of the well wishes. This victory is especially sweet for me as well as my family after the last year we have had. I won't go into all of the details as I posted them in "my nclex experience" thread, I will just say, my 9 yr old had open heart surgery with alot of complications, we lost everything in hurricane katrina, and I failed level 4 of the ADN program by 1 point. We picked ourselves up and soldiered on, and here we are, life is really good right now and is only going to get better and better for us. This week alone, we put a contract on a house(we are currently still living in a fema trailer), I got a job offer, and I passed NCLEX. My hubby and my kids were so proud and excited the night that my license # popped on the screen. The human spirit is a magnificent thing!

I just found out after 6 days of waiting that I have been issued a license, I passed! I don't know how and I really don't care at this point, but I do have a license! My test cut off at 120, I am pretty sure I missed the last question, and I got the survey about the Pearson testing site and it's employees, no statements about not disclosing info. I have seen several questions posted recently asking if these are all warning signs of failing, and I am happy to report they are not. I don't think anyone will ever be able to figure out how or why NCLEX does what it does. I can tell you that I have known for 6 days that I absolutely failed and have been sick thinking about it, please don't lose hope, anything is possible. We are much smarter than we give ourselves credit for! Tracy, R.N.

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers, I just found out a few minutes ago, that I did in fact PASS! I am on top of the world right now!

Contrary to what the media had the whole nation believing, New Orleans wasn't the only area devastated by Katrina. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Ocean Springs. We are about 5 miles east of Biloxi if you are familiar with the area. My home had 8 ft of water and many many families here lost everything! Bridges were crumbled, roads were washed out to sea, and many historical homes were leveled. We were here for the storm and let me just tell you, growing up here on the coast and witnessing many hurricanes............Katrina was the mother of all storms. My school did suffer some damage, but were opened back up about 3 weeks after the storm and our classes resumed. At this time many were still living in tents, but making it to school everyday. I was luckier than most, at least I have family in the area. Let's just say that graduating and getting my license has much more meaning than I could ever have imagined. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, after that exam I need all the help I can get. Good Luck to you too!

My husband was this way all through school, you are too smart, you know you passed that test, blah, blah, blah, but now he listens to my intuition after I failed level four, he definately understands how difficult this whole nursing thing can be. By the way, I failed level four because I thought I was superwoman and after my 9 yr old son had open heart surgery with numerous complications, and we lost everything in hurrican katrina, and were living like gypsies with different family members, I thought yeah, I can do this last semester........lol I had literally lost my mind. I am happy to report, I did repeat and pass the level with flying colors. So when I came home and told him I thought that I failed the NCLEX, he really listened and understood. As I sit here in my fema trailer, ready to relocate and start a new life, I just don't know if I can deal with another let down, I mean come on give a girl a break

I took the test in Mobile, AL for a MS license.....does that make sense?

Mississippi is not a state that participates in quick results, how did you do that, please if there is a way, I need to know to maintain the little bit of sanity I have left, lol

I took mine on Wednesday too in Mobile and I have been going crazy since. I called BON today and was told the woman that handles posting new RN's to the website is out until Monday, so that is the soonest we would find out. Let's just hope that it will happen no later. I am really scared, mine cut off at 120 and I am pretty sure I missed the last question, I left convinced that I failed, but we will see..........

I can relate to all that has been said in this thread. This is actually my first post. I took my NCLEX on Wednesday and I still feel numb. My test cut off at 120 and I am pretty sure I missed that last question, the weird thing is I can remember the three choices I didn't pick, but not the one that I did, is that insane or what? I guess I just couldn't fit anything else in my brain, lol. I am still waiting to find out my results, Mississippi is not a state for quick results. We can however log on to BON to see if a license # has been issued. I called them today just to see when to expect that to be posted and was told the one, yes the one,woman that handles that is on vacation until next week. The agony of waiting 48 hrs is enough, I will be crazy, and so will my hubby and kids by next Tuesday. Good Luck to all and please know that reading through tons and tons of posts over the last 2 days has helped to put my mind at ease, well at least a little. I have pretty much convinced myself that I have failed, felt that way when I left, and now that I am pretty sure I got the last question wrong and then it cut off makes me feel I am right, but I have not lost all hope. As one poster said earlier, it is not the failing it that would be so bad, but how do I prepare for it next time when I thought I was prepared this time. In my opinion, there is no program, book, cd, or review that could prepare you for this............ P.s. Could anyone let me know if the BON will also post if you failed it or do they just list your name if you passed and were issued a #. I guess if they don't post that you failed, I will have to wait for the mail results??
