How long does it take once you submit your application for your name to come up and say "Unapproved Applicant" and "Application in progress"? I sent everything in two and a half weeks ago and my name is not showing up on the BON site. I know they received it because I was able to track the package.

It says online the open house is from 9 to 12. I just want to clarify that I do not have to be there right at 9; I can show up anytime during that time frame, correct? Thanks :)

Congrats, Dizzy!!

I'm so sorry to hear that.

The only "official" way is through the BON. If your state participates with the quick results, which takes 2 days, you will get your unofficial results. They're pretty much official, they just say unofficial because only the BON can give you your official results, and they don't want you to start practicing until you get that. Good luck. The PVT seems pretty reliable.

Congrats!!

I'm not sure what help Pearson will be. CA doesn't participate in quick results, right? I'd try and call the BON.

Good luck to everyone! You can do this! :)

Thanks! At least our school has a 95% pass rate, so your odds are great!

Haha, I just typed that when you were typing. I don't know what advice I can give really. The questions didn't seem hard, but most of the answers seemed right! There's 6 of us that took the exam so far from my campus and so far everyone passed. We all did our studying differently. My friend did the Kaplan class and then a ton of questions. Another did just the Kaplan book and a ton of questions. I did Hurst review (at home). Watched all the review videos for 3 hrs a day until they were done, then I did the Kaplan book, then I did the Hurst Mock Nclex and then the Kaplan practice test in the back of the book. I had Saunders but I was afraid to use that because when I did the questions before the NS exams, they always seemed easy (although they do give good rationales). I always thought Lippencott was harder, but I didn't have any more time to do any more questions. Just do some reviewing, and do some questions. Good luck. When is your test?

Hey- shescoolie! I remember you from the threads for BC! Congrats on graduating. We graduated together and didn't know it, lol. I just took the NCLEX Friday and found out today I passed!

I studied for 16 days, 3 hours a day and didn't do any studying the day before my exam.

I took my exam on Friday. Exam stopped at 95, got home and got the good pop up. Did quick results today and found out I passed. The trick works!!! I'm now an RN, too!

Congrats! I'm above the clouds right now myself!

I had 95 questions, came home and got the good pop up. My results were available from Pearson Quick Results, paid the $8 and found out I passed. Everyone that I know did the trick and it was true. Relax, I believe this trick is true!
