Yes looking at it from that point thank goodness it's changed because I wouldn't be able to afford to get a hotel to test and them walking around would make me more nervous. I would also think tedting on five nursing subjects would have made you have to be more informed then today. I am glad to be done though... Yes it is drastic but I was such a wreck. I worked two full time jobs and a prn thru nursing school, got divorced, moved twice, lost my dog, and lost a lot thru nursing school. I am just glad to be at this point. Now I just need to figure out where to apply? Where could I be the best nurse? So thankful

My biggest thing now is I have passed and I have no idea of what type of nursing I should apply for when I get my license

That is amazing. I think my instructors said it used to be that way for them. I wonder if pen and paper or computer testing affects pass rates as well.

Oh my goodness. Yall had two day exams? Where are you from? That was definately a long wait and here I was thinking two weeks to get my license was long. One lady was telling me about when it used to be pen and paper and a random skill...

I understand but that's exactly what I was saying. You cannot consider the pvt official. According to the pearsonvue website even the quick results are unofficial so it is not okay until you have a license number. And $200 is a lot. So that is why I chose to use the wrong expiration so I would not be charged either way. I hate that those people had to go thru that pain. I can't think of any job in Mississippi that would allow us to bring the pvt printed out and say this is my official pass record. But I'm not quite sure how other states are doing this. So so so sad that was even possible to happen. I didn't even go and accept the jobs where they let you work basically as a tech for 45 days and you have to pass your nclex within that time period because I wanted to be sure I had this done.

I passed my test got my unofficial quick review $8 test. I would like to say that I believe the pearsonvue trick was good for me and it does work for passing. However, if u find through the pearsonvue trick that you fail you should still not be discouraged because according to the nclex site they use the first 48 hours to make sure the test is accurately graded. So there is still chance for you. Also it gives you a fine print that u r putting your card in to be charged. So to avoid charges I used the wrong expiration. I heard another lady on YouTube say she bout a $25 gift card and tried it. No matter what is found thru pearsonvue you cannot call it official until you get your license number. But the pearsonvue trick did comfort me as a passer.

I would have definitely been more uneasy if everyone said it worked and it didn't. And I feel for the people that that happened to. However, I still have not seen a post where someone got the good pop up and found out they failed. Now that would be more devastating thinking strongly you passed but didn't lol. Also pearsonvue would tell anyone who called that the only official results are the ones they release so today I took a risk by doing that. I understood after I read the payment guidelines that I was taking a risk of being charged. I assume pearsonvue could easily fix it to where it doesn't allow anyone to re register or attempt for a certain time frame and eventually they will. But most charging systems will decline a card if the billing address and or expiration date entered was wrong. I say everyone has to be smart and know nothing is official until the board declares it. What is the world of nursing like? Is it mostly what we fear and dream of?

The pearsonvue trick went bad for you? It was opposite?

Great I will be anxiously awaiting! Good luck!!!!

Hello at 8am I took my test and I got really anxious so I did the pearsonvue trick at 1:30pm. i went in and proceeding to reregister. I put in all my cards information with the wrong expiration and clicked submit both times. I got the message in red saying a recent test was scheduled and I could not register at this time. My my friend did the same and it allowed her to register and get a receipt when she failed in May so I am praying it's right but I will have official result on Wednesday thru quick results!!!

Hello I took my NCLEX-RN today at 8 am I finished at 76 questions. I didn't feel good about it at all but I begged God to just do this for me. I put my card information in at 1:30pm and put the wrong expiration date. I got the good pop up I will update you when I get my quick results.

Did you try the trick that everyone speaks of to see if it gives you a message. I know you can pass or fail at any number over 75 questions. And even if you run out of time, they grade the last 75 minus 15 fly questions. Just pray. I can't wait to be you!

Have you applied anywhere else but Holmes. You are right not to give up but also increase your options. Apply at Hinds if you live close. I did and I got in their RN program as soon as a I got my pre-reqs in. I know at Holmes it is a little easier to get in the LPN than RN but regardless of which program you go to just make sure you have as many prereqs as possible finished before you start in the fall or spring or whatever. It is difficult trying to take classes during. And go ahead and claim it is yours

What does nocs mean? Is that another word for PRN or per diem? I understand that most employers are there just to fill their clock up and doesn't care about school. And that was my whole problem. Employers were looking over my school schedule that i provided on the application or encouraging me to drop out. That is why I have been strict on my interviews about asking questions about school, because I don't want to be in the situation with someone who has never been were I am headed. Of course, they wouldn't understand the long nights of studying, the fluctuating hours of class, the stressful days of clinical, and the 18 page care plan and nursing process tool that i have to fill out on clinical days, and the papers. But a nurse manager would understand, well... one with some authority. I worked as a nursing assistant before in a hospital here and I loved it but I started that job before I started school and we already had so many people going to school that she was unable to get HR to really change my schedule. I was working 7a to 7p and sometimes 7-3 and others times 3-11. When I was taking my pre reqs i took them online so it wasn't a problem. But with the same schedule I was having to sneak out of class everyday. So I ended up having to quit that and though it was a weight off my shoulders and my grades improved, I felt an overwhelming regret about quitting. An agency like that would be fantastic but in this part of Mississippi I wonder would I find one? Do you know any names of agencies to look up or how do I find agencies that does that? Still, if you have any information on the agency I would like to know because my classmates are struggling to find a job too. I would imagine though that agencies like this would probably be home health or in a nursing home. Because our hospitals hire for PRN here but it's SOOOO hard to get the position or even be called because usually someone's cousin or uncle gets the job. It is hard to get into hospitals or nursing homes here if you don't know someone. And I don't know anyone. So I am praying and believing that the PCA position will come through.
