YOU PASSED!

Umm.. Well you can clean someone who stinks, and STD's are so common and you just use PPE.

So I am a new nurse.. just took and passed my boards and I got hired in Labor and Delivery. I wanted to know if anyone has any advice to avoid pit falls or common mistakes. Im nervous and need some advice

Im glad this helped everyone out!! Future testers.. have faith, more people pass NCLEX than fail! so relax, read this post.. do the PV trick and cross your fingers!!!

Darlensky, Im glad that this post helped to relieve some of you stress! That was what I was going for! I am so happy that you passed!!!! It is definatly a hard test and the waiting is torture!! Wait 48 hours and your pearson quick results will be there, and your state BON results may even be in within 24 hours (I took mine on a Friday, so my Pearson results were up first due to the hours of Pearson vs. BON) I really hope that you found some help and guidance through my post When I start my first job I plan on doing more posts that relate to the trials of a new nurse, so keep in touch!!! Congratulations fellow RN's

HOW TO DO THE PEARSON TRICK: Here is how I did the pearson trick.. After you take your test (dont try it until 4- 6 hours after the start time - to ensure that the test is actually closed for all testers) go to www.pearsonvue.com/nclex log into your account click the 'register' tab click the test you want to register for (RN/PN) answer the questions on the next page locate your school using the school search click next- and immediatly at that point you should get a pop up that reads "our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time." if you see that exact message, you PASSED if it allows you to pay for your test, you FAILED your first attempt I hope that this helps. I have come to the conclusion, after much scepticism, that the pearson trick is 100%true and works! I know its hard to put so much faith in a silly little pop up, but when you see that pop up try and take a breather and know that when your official results come up it will say PASS

Time line continued... *This morning at 8:30 my 'PASS' results were available at BON website. The only thing I am still waiting on is finding my name on the BON provider search, with a license number associated with my name. Does anyone know how long that takes?

MY OFFICIAL NCLEX RESULTS TIMELIME: * Test taken at 8am (florida) -170 questions, test finished by 10am * "Pearson Trick" tried at 2pm- good pop up seen * Pearson "Quick Results" available at 9:30am on sunday morning (a little more than 48 hours after test) So the bottom line of this timeline is that pearson gives results 7 days a week.. and the BON only gives results on week days.

Ok now that i have calmed down At 9:26am quick results were up. I payed $7 and found out I passed! My results are NOT up on FBON, but im sure they will be tomorrow! I will patch this timeline together later.. me and my husband are going to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

5 seconds after i posted this..... results are up! i passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so no news yet! It is sunday morning- exactly 48 hours after my exam.. I went on the pearson website, to check if i can even do "quick results" and it says in bold bright letter thats my exams scores are not available yet. I decided that I would try and call the quick results phone number 1 900 77 NCLEX this phone number does NOT work.. i have a sprint phone and i was thinking that maybe it was something setting on my account that wouldnt let me do it. So i called sprint and the lady with sprint said that there is no reason why i shouldnt be able to use it.. so she tried calling the number from her desk phone, and she got the same error message that i did. I also called my parents house and had them try if from there home phone, which i think is comcast- so unless there is some trick to that phone number.. it doesnt work!!! **So maybe another myth we can all bust is that NCLEX quick result number sounds like its a bunch of bologne!!!** So on to the next website i checked this morning (48 hours out from my test).. FBON exam results - NOTHING FBON provider search- NAME NOT THERE I am assuming that I am going to have to wait until tomorrow morning to hear anything, but I will keep back checking today to see if any new revelations have occured! My tip to future testers: try not to take your test on Friday- it is torture to wait allllllll weekend. And i can garuntee you (unless u r a freak of nature) finding out those exam scores will be all that is on your mind. I will update you later to patch together this long long timeline of non events. and one last thing- i just tried to call pearson's customer service line and PEARSON IS CLOSED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY..... So there is another fact straightened out for future testers.. the place is like fort knox on the weekend!!

Hi Everyone! Its 12:15 on Saturday and BON website has not yet posted any results.. i called their customer service to see if they were even open today, and they are NOT open! haha.. **FBON open Monday through Friday until 6pm** I had a little bit of hope that the results would be auto updated (even if they are closed), so Im going to keep checking (mainly so that future testers have something to refer to when they are freaking out too). I have heard that Pearson is open 7 days a week, they their "2 busniess days" is 48 hours, regardless of the day of the week. That will be another thing we will discover tomorrow (tomorrow will be 48 hours after my test- which is also a sunday). I had 160-170 questions ( I cant remember exactly because it just shut off).. but I am not concerned about the number of questions, everyone I have talked to said it really doesnt matter how many you get. Im kicking myself too about scheduling Friday, but I am in the same situation as you- I have an employer interested in me and getting my test done and passed is top priority. I got my ATT Monday and took it Friday.. and I only studied Monday- Friday. I thought that the state application, ATT and scheduling would take a lot longer, but from the day I submited my online application to FBON to when I took my test was only 3 weeks. So another tip for future testers, if you live in FLORIDA the BON is VERY VERY VERY fast with their application process! Ok well, I will update everyone later

Hi Everyone! I was told about the the "Pearson Trick" a few days ago. I took my NCLEX on friday 9/16 and by that afternoon, I went onto Pearson's website and did the trick, and got the good error message. I have not seen anything on by state BON website.. so I dont know officially if i passed or failed the test. I am super suspicious of this Pearson Trick, I find it hard to put all my faith in a silly pop up. Accoriding to the Pearson Trick, I passed. I will have to wait and see what the BON says.. Also, I want to post some information about how long it is taking me to get my pass/ fail information bc i know i am a nervous wreck, so hopefully this may bring some peace of mind to future testers. TIMELINE TOOK TEST FRIDAY 9/16 @ 8am BY 2pm THAT DAY (9/16) I WAS ABLE TO DO THE PEARSON TRICK -GOOD POP UP PRESENT- ................ I will update further as to my results timelime By the way I am from Florida, so this is indicative of FBON *Just a side note- it is 10 am Saturday morning here (24+ hours after my test) and I have been checking on the BON website, and there is nothing... So this may also show that the BON does not update on weekends or take longer than 24 hours
