Hi Lani,

Several years ago after I took the NCLEX, I would go to the BRN website several times a day to search for my name under the "license search" feature (I'm not sure if thats the same search you're using). I found out I passed NCLEX about 10 days before I received anything in the mail from the board!!

Try for yourself (the link is below). I think I started searching about three days after I took the test. It really doesn't take that long for your test to be electronically transmitted to the board.

GOOD LUCK!!

And just wondering? Did you decide to make a change of professions?

One of my favorite doctors is a woman who worked as a bedside ICU nurse before she became a Pulmonologist. She is simply outstanding and probably THE best doctor I know.

Really, good luck to you!

thanks begalli..... i did try visiting that website (almost every day actually) but no results yet until now... I just wonder if its ok for me to call them and inquire about my result. what do you think? Do you think it is good idea to call them?....By the way...i took my NCLEX exam in Kentucky but it is under the jurisdiction of California Board of Nursing...Do you think it has something to do with the delay in the release my my results?

About your question....yes you are right i am making a change of profession....i finally decided to work as a nurse instead...the pressure of being a doctor is too much...i want to have a smooth transition this time....i am now planning to start my own family and my fiance is requesting i only work 2-3x a week...he wants me to devote my time to our future kids...which i agreed because my job right now is actually eating most of my time...

best regards..

I got my results from pearsonvue.com two days after taking the test... does California not use Peason Vue? I thought everyone took the NCLEX through them.

Hi everyone!

i made it...I PASSED!

I tried calling the california board of nursing and was able to talk to the profesional licensing operator and i was told that i passed my NCLEX exam. the reason they cannot release my official result according to the person i talked to is theres a problem with my finger print card. But i was assured they are going to mail me the official result as soon as possible......at leat my long wait is over now!....

Many thanks to everybody who replied to my message....thanks for wishing me luck...

best regards to everyone...:)
