Hi I would like to say thank you to all of you for posting your comments. It has been a long and at times stressful journey since taking my nclex on the 6th of aug in ca. I have found much comfort in reading your posts! I had all 265 questions--was devastated and went through the emotional rollercoaster. As of today, I am still waiting for my letter in the mail. I have checked the BON website everyday and unfortunately havent seen my name. I read a post earlier from Suzanne and finally decided to give them a call to see if my file was complete. The lady at the BON said that in fact it was and that it can take up to 30 days to receive my results in the mail. I know it's not a matter of an ssn because i have one so I had to assume the worst. I commented to the lady at the BON that I must have failed because my name isnt on the website and the lady said this wasn't necessarily true. I would like to believe and hang on to that last bit of hope but I've got to start preparing to take it again. Does anyone know when the 45 days to retest begins? Is it from the date of your last nclex? The date the failure letter is sent out or mailed?
