Okay, I fully expect to be slammed for this. What do all these posts about gaming the system to get early results say about the character of some of the new grads/nurse candidates? One of the prime requisites of being a nurse is good judgement. Boasting about or encouraging fraudulent behavior by using inaccurate or inadequate credit card information to get test results hours or days quicker does not speak well of one's judgement and maturity. Is this what we accept from our colleagues?
It may be harsh but I think this is a matter of integrity. I understand impatience very well, I understand wanting to know if all the work of school paid off, what I don't understand is how easily one can ignore the lessons of integrity and professionalism.
If one can lie to a faceless testing company how one respond when faced with a potential life threatening situation that requires, patience, integrity, and maturity. It's a slippery slope, a little harmless deception here may reveal character issues that come to light when real harm may be caused.
So, slam me, flame me, whatever, or I hope some will agree with me.
Also, Pearson-Vue is an enormous company that administers a butt-ton of different tests I am confident it is a completely automated payment system in which no actual people are harmed by the pvt. Their servers can handle it.
This reminds me of the people who bootleg DVDs and CDs .The rationale is well Sony has tons of money they can handle it. While their servers may be able to handle it servers have to be powered and maintained which costs money. At its core the person using the PVT is a liar even in our politically correct 2015 world.

The artists are affected by bootlegging. So they are not the same thing.
Servers have to be serviced and maintained anyway. Doing pvt with a gift card and getting "the good pop up does not affect that whatsoever.
It's not about being politically correct, it's about basing the character of an entire group of people on one action. How can one action(trying the PVT) be linked to all these other things? Hundreds of people try the PVT, are they all liars?
I kid, I kid. I got the point you were making, but I do believe society has placed value of importance on when hiding "truths" is required. Anonymity in a public Internet forum is a matter of safety. Not all is black and white, which I believe is the point you were trying to illustrate but in a slightly different context.

Every single person on this planet is a liar.
Speak for yourself. The fact that you think everyone on the planet does the same types of things that you are willing to do says a lot about your mentality.

I try to lie all the time but I always get caught. I can't play poker, either.
