I know of several people personally who took it recently and passed with 265... it's actually a pretty good sign. I wish the best of luck for you

MY ADVICE: 1:it doesn't matter the number of q's you get (I got 75 the first time & failed, I got 75 the 2nd time and PASSED) 2:You should study hard, but you may never see a question on the exam that you've seen close to in your books, online reviews or classes. The studying will then have made you smarter for work :) 3: I reccommend NCSBN online review course over anything else. the website is: learningext.com. NCSBN writes the actual NCLEX questions for all the states! If you do their program, you being to see consitencies... get it? 4: The wait is the worst. If you could bet $ on the feeling that you failed, you most likely passed! I know... wierd huh? If you feel fine about it, who know's? You cannot predict your results no matter how you feel afterwards. 5: You are not alone by any means. This test is an emotional roller coaster stress ball... and people do get through it. Don't give up on yourself. 6: Not everyone get's the "QUICK RESULTS", so you may have to wait longer if you are in CA, (and the 2-3 day rule on the CA BON website isn't axact...it took me until day 4).

It took 4 days for it to post on the CA Board of Nursing website... just when I thought it couldn't happen after day 3... it did!!!! Thank you for everyones support through this crazy roller coaster and good luck to those who are still waiting. It can be done... I'm living proof

Whahoooooooo!!!! I PASSED TOO!!!!!! I can't believe it. Just when I was giving up all hope of passing my 2nd time... I DID IT! Congrats to NURSEEXTER too (we took it at the same place & time). Thanks for everyones support through this.:balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons:

Suzanne told me that too & I have even heard of the occasional person who doesn't see their name on the website in the 2-3 days... then they get a letter 2 weeks later saying they passed! It is so rediculously screwy isn't it? Everyone of my friends who passed in CA saw their name on the CA BRN website after day 3 & some day 4. The ones who didn't, got their letter of not passing exactly 2 weeks after taking the exam. One of my friends took theirs in July and still hasn't heard anything! It's absolutely crazy too that the BON increased the standard for passing in April (I believe thats the month). Don't they want more nurses?! I just don't understand it. I have had transcripts lost and mail never sent by the BON... scary to think that strangers hold your life in their hands & you are at the mercy of how long they will take. I pray for all of us waiting and having to re-take the exam... it's the hardest thing I've ever faced in my life.

You can't break too. Don't you think it was kind of interesting that we don't know each other, yet we both took our test same place, same time same # of questions & we are both going through the same issue? Don't you think it's wierd that we both came on allnurses at the same time? I believe we were meant to meet... we don't have much else right now... except the fact that there is someone else in the area going through the same thing. This sux! It hurts very badly... I can't imagine having to go through this again! Maybe the 3rd time is a charm?

I took mine in SD too! & got 75 too! wierd. 2x's in a row. Maybe we should take it in "PASS-adena" hehe. I am so hoping that we have tomorrow too... do you think it's possible? My friend said it took 4 days for him and another guy to pass online.

CA doesn't participate with the "Quick Results" through Pearson Vue. We have to check for "Permanent Lisence Verification" on the BON Website. We type in our name, then it either shows up or not. Calling Pearson doesn't do anything here ;( Thanks for the advice though. Anyone know about the online wait time specifically for me in CA, with the info on my test I provided?

The site is 1 day behind, so it says it updates Mon-Fri, but actually updates Tues-Sat for the previous day. In my case, I took the test for my second try on Thursday in CA. The CA BON website updated Fri (for Thur), Sat (for Fri), and Tues (for Mon- yesterday). I studied 6-9hrs a day (NCSBN online program) this time. Most of my friends found out by day 3. Does this mean I failed?!! I am soooooo sad and can't muster up any hope that it may post tomorrow. I had 2 friends who took 4 days to post, but that's because (I think), the CA BON didn't update one of the days. My hospital is giving my position to a more experienced nurse today (they won't wait until tomorrow ;() & I am just sooooo upset. Any advice? I can't work (No IPN) and I am really feeling like I may have made the hugest mistake by even going to nursing school. This isn't worth the pain I am feeling. I studied so hard... it's just not fair.

Just got my letter... I failed I just cannot believe it.

Just got my letter... you were right... I failed. I can't believe it. I guess we are in the same boat. I am gonna re-take as soon as I can.

Ya, the CA BON wensite updates anywhere from 2 am to 6am for the previuos days inputs. However, no Quick Results for CA yet ;( Going on 12 days). Perhaps my lisence will post today. It should update any minute actually.

Oh, and did it post online before your letter came or not? I am trying to figure the system out but i think it's impossible. I have heard the process all different ways. Tha CA BON website hasent updated today yet (for yesterday) So you must have had your results posted on Aug 9, for Aug 8. I don't know why it updates that way, but then again, I can't figure it out.

Congrats! I wouldn't be so nervous about the wait, but the lady on the phone said "so if your ame isn't posted for today, then you can probablly guess what happened. That was very discouraging, as I feel like she was trying to prepare me or something. How many questions did you get?
