So, I found out today, after 18 days of waiting for my fingerprints to be cleared, that I....did not pass the NCLEX-RN the first time around. Right now I just feel hopeless, like I wasted 4 years of schooling with nothing to show for it. Now I ha...

Thank you all for the encouraging words. It's funny how it always feels like you're alone, when you're really not. I probably wont have time to do Suzanne's plan, but I'll definitely take the advice to do the tests at the end of each chapter in the s...

Ah, okay so I did get them mixed up. Thanks for clearing that up. The only thing that sucks now is that all the programs are either filled or have already started. I took the NCLEX already, just waiting on fingerprints to come back so I can get my r...

Hey epoy, I took mine the same day in CA, as well. No result for me yet, but it turns out that my fingerprints have not come yet. So I would call them and ask if your file is complete. They'll let you know if you're missing anything and what you're ...

I agree. I wish they would. But the spaces are all filled for fall. Next I know that opens is February

I wanted to do new grad program but I missed all the deadlines. And I heard that you only qualify before you've taken the NCLEX. So I guess I would just be hired on as a nurse and follow a preceptor around for a few weeks and then all by myself it is...

I do but I have studen loans to pay off and other bills. I was planning on having a part time job and full time anyway. So I probably wont have to quit. Plus I need somthing to do these weeks while I wait

She said two weeks up to couple of months. I'm hoping it's more of the 2 weeks. Well the first set I sent in I got the results that they weren't readable pretty fast. Soi here's to hope that these are readable but don't take long to process. So it lo...

So called them and found out that the reason I don't have results yet is because, like i suspected fingerprints. This lady was more helpful then the one i spoke with yesterday and actually took the time out to explain what sending out fingerprints me...

I graduated in my from Virginia in MAY that is. And in Virginia you aren't allowed to test until the board has everything, so I assumed it was like that in CA as well. But, it makes me think California is not that way. Hmm. I may need to call and ask...

I live in southern California and am having the same problem as well. It's sad that apparently there's this huge nursing shortage, but I'm guessing CA is not one of those places. Hospitals seem to be very picky about whom they hire. It's always 2 yea...

On business day 5. Still nothing.

Well I'll definitely keep you in my prayers. I get more nervous everytime i think about it. I hope you find out soon. Definitely keep me posted. Don't you just wish you could pay someone under the table to find out???

Thanks!! I really need to call them up and have a chat. It's true it does make me more nervous.

It did. 75 hit screen went blue and i couldn't focus at all on the survey. I just wanted it to keep going. Because 75 means you either did so well it felt you didn't need to prove yourself anymore or you sucked so bad that it bothered to not even ask...

Haha. Thanks I need all the luck I can get. :zzzzz I don't know the test was so bizarre to me. Like it asked the most random questions. I feel like I guessed majority of the time. I tried to stick to the ABC's and Maslow, but even that was hard to de...

The first time I got fingerprinted, I got a letter and new fingerprint card sent back saying that my fingerprints couldn't be processed because they weren't readable. So, I had to go again I couldn't get an appointment to get fingerprinted until 2 da...

Eeek 8 business day!!!!! I'm on 'business day' 4 and I called this morning to check on my second time fingerprints and I was told they were sent out on 8/1 which is the day I took my test. So, I'm figuring I probably wont find out my results for a ...

Hello silverdragon102. I keep trying to tell myself that "hey it usually takes 3-10 days maybe you're one of those 10 and above dayers." It works for about 2 minutes and then the doubt sets in once again. BLAH! I guess one really doesn't relax unt...

Congratulations nursemich. :yeah: I also took the test on 8/1 in California and am still waiting on my results. Hopefully, in the next few days I'll have the same results as you did.

Hello epoy, I also took my exam on 8/1/08 in CA. As of this morning name still has not shown up on the website. My spirits are starting to lower as the days of wait grow longer. I think CA purposely wants to punish the future nurses by not offering...
