I GOT THE JOB AT CHOP!!!!!!!!! Just wanted to update everyone here. It is possible :) :)

It works, it works it works!!!! In PA we already have our license numbers online the next day after taking the NCLEX!! I didn't even have to pay for the Pearson Quick REsults!! yay!!! I'm an RN!!!!

Yeah its too early. Wait until it says "Delivery Successful" and then the PVT will work. This happened to me too today, but I tried 20 min later and it worked. g'luck!

I took the test today. Ended at 75 Questions. Had 11 SATA so I felt pretty good about that because they were giving me harder questions. I did the PVT 2 hours after my test and got the good popup! Yay!! I feel much calmer now. I'm trusting the PVT an...

Leesh-- I am ao sorry to hear about CHOP!! I hate those rejection notes too, they are so impersonal and upsetting. I'm really hope you find your dream NICU job. I too am hoping to land a job in NICU in Philly... However, there aren't many places that...

HI Leesh! Congrats on making it so far through their "system"!! That's a great sign that you had a shadow day. I would contact the nurse recruiter that you dealt with to ask them if they have any idea when you'll hear. They should be able to give you...
