75 Questions July 21st

Published

Specializes in Cardiology.

Well, I just got home from taking the NCLEX for the first time. I finished in 75 questions and much like everyone else my heart started to race. I also feel like I failed (which is common from what I hear).

I will sign up for quick test results when I can. I just checked and said I didnt have results, which makes sense because a human has to go over it.

I got a lot of SATA and priority/delegation/precautions. A few meds, maybe 5-6.

Good luck! Don't bother checking for Quick Results until it has been a good 46 hours from the time you completed the exam. Typically takes 48, sometimes they are available a tad sooner. But today? LOL....no, that's too soon.

Your exam will undergo a QA review at some point during the 24 hours following your exam. Results won't be released prior to that.

Just as an FYI, it doesn't matter if you had a lot or only one SATA question; same with the rest of the notations. They can all be above the passing standard or below it. Anything else is myth.

Meantime.....go do something to distract yourself, and get the Quick Results when they are available.

Hang in there!

Broke down and did the PVT thingy. I got the "good" popup so that helped calm the nerves. I know its not definitive but it helped calm me down a little.

This doesn't make sense to me. If your State participates in Quick Results, they should have been available about five days ago. If, however, your State does NOT participate in Quick Results....your status will ALWAYS say "results unavailable"....because the State doesn't participate.

So..kita...what State are you in so we can figure out what the problem is?

Illinois

Illinois participates. If a hold is placed on your test for some reason, it typically takes anywhere from 24-72 hours to lift. Even if that happened the hold should be done by now.

Have you checked the IL BoN site?

I think I'd be calling... This is excessive.

Oh ive been calling. Called all day yesterday, and let them hear how i really felt about the situation. And today, coincidentally, someone from pearson vue and claimed that the hold should be lifted in a couple more days. There was an incident which i didnt even think would affect my test results. I had almost forgotten about it To make a long story short when i got my phone and blue tooth back that were in the plastic bag, he cut the bag and cut my blue tooth by mistake. I didnt even care. I just wanted to leave the testing center. But he felt really bad and wanted me to be reimbursed. So he filled out an incident report. I would have never put the 2 together, but the woman who called today said it was misconduct on their part and they had to do a full investigation. I think this is extremely petty. Ive been stressed for a week and its over a bluetooth.

Got it. Yes, an incident report of ANY type can (and does) trigger a hold. I do remember reading about ONE person who had a hold go on for something like a week....it was a really convoluted mess, but eventually the hold was lifted and results were released.

Hang in there....seems like you got the mess this time :(
