Thank you for the help. I just got an offer and it matched my experience. It's always good to see the scale. A little bit less than what I was making in the East Coast definitely. I think I might go ahead and look for non-union positions on the side.

Looking to relocate to WA state. Any ideas on the salary range for someone with 9 years of experience in Med/Surg? I want to find out so that I know the range that I should be expecting to negotiate to... Please respond soon...interview coming up! thanks.

I am also from Toronto and now working in the US with a WA state license. Here are the steps you need to do: 1. Retrieve application from Dept of Health WA 2. Register for NCLEX RN with Pearson Vue (after you have been approved to take it) 3. Take the NCLEX RN at a designated facility and of course pass it Once all is done...you should be licensed to practice. Best of Luck!

Finally! got results today and I passed the NCLEX RN! woo hoo! they made me wait until my birthday today to tell me! crazy! two weeks of waiting! and yes...PVt works!!!

rksgray...It's the way the registration system (program) is set-up. There is no other way because if you pass it will definitely stop you from registering again because the system already knows there is no need. If one fails the exam it will allow them to re-register. It's how the program is coded. All in all...everyone should just stop paying for the quick results and wait for their license to show up on Board website. I think Pearson knows this (or not) and they are making a killing charging every single nurses $8.95 per click. You passed for sure! no doubt about it! keep us posted! and Congrats! It worked for me!!!

Holy smokes!!! I passed! the PVT is not a "trick". It's how the registration is set up. Either way...trick or not...IT WORKS!!! Wish you all the luck and good fortune!!! I still can't believe it!!! DAMN THING WORKS!!! Thank you for all your support and keeping me sane!!!

Congrats! So, PV trick is a yes or no? Do you think you can try to register again since you got your official result? (to see if pvt is still legit). Happy for you!!!

Anyausa...thanks for the info. I've been checking NH BON since the 26th(day i took rn exam) and up to now no results yet. I emailed board last week and they said it will be a few more days. It's been over a week now and still not up. I've been trying the PV trick and so far it hasnt gotten pass the cc page. Hope thats a good sign i passed, however, still anxious and waiting...when did you take your exam? Do you know anyone who took it last week and still waiting for their results?

mommyx4...what about the states that don't have quick results? would you think it would still apply the same way? i'm still waiting for my results (my Board does not participate in the quick results). still getting the good pop up....still crossing my fingers on this one..

dannangelo...i took the nclex RN and i tried to re-register with the RN and it won't let me. however, if i tried to register for the PN..it leads me to the CC page. so, that might've been the reason why they got to the cc page. i don't know. btw, did you get your results yet? and what state are you from? (you have quick result?) thanks

iluvunursing07...if they offer the "quick results" (considered to be 'unofficial') then they (pearson) already know whether you passed/failed. why would the Board be the one telling them if you passed/failed since the Board is just there waiting to receive the results? so, are you saying that the Board gets the results and decides whether a candidate passed/failed and not Pearson (testing center) who offers quick results (even though its unofficial)? Upon reading some of these threads, some people got their results quick and they havent received their official results yet and when they did it somehow correlated with the pvt... did you say you this is your 2nd sitting? what was your first experience with the pvt?

iluvnursing07...did you try it??? so..how do you explain the people who had to retake it and were able to go and register right away since it took them to the cc page? did you get a chance to ask that? because it appears that a lot of people who passed have tried this "trick" and it blocked them. and others (who did not pass) just went directly to the cc page for retake...coincidence? hypothetically speaking...once you are done with the test, it's already been graded by the computer..right? once the computer grades it, they already know whether one has passed or failed. and if one tries to re-register, if you can't then there is a high probability that the computer knows that you took the test and that you already passed (if you have quick results). however, if one did not pass the test, then the registration process is automatically open (assuming everything is automated). does this sound like something that makes sense? it's driving me nuts!

so, pvt worked for you? did you try it right after the test and kept on giving you the same "pop"

Thank you for the well wishes...however, my anxiety is still sky high. As I type this, I'm at the library trying to re-study (in case). At the same token, it's very difficult to focus. Good luck to you as well...let me know how it goes...

new hampshire. i took it on Jan 26th. it still says pending on Board site. NH does not participate with quick results so I have no way of finding out. did you get your results yet? how many days, if you dont mind me asking? i'm scared as hell.....emailed board over the weekend and she told me it'll be another several days...what da heck! why cant they just tell me... i still get the "good" pop up and have been trying since the 26th. it's killin' me...
