Sad how BON makes us wait

I agree with you 100%. Why can't they just tell us right there and then. It plays with ppl emotions too much.

I agree.... its high time the BON had a better system in place so that we can know if we passed or failed right then. Bouts of anxiety, fear,insomnia and confusion for 48 hours or more is brutal.

God do I agree with you guys!! Obviously the technology is there.. why then do they play with test takers like that? I have no clue. My friend had to wait almost 4 weeks!!! In CA they will not release results until the BRN receives all transcripts from the school. We graduated on December 21st. She took the NCLEX 3 weeks later and had to wait until the BRN received the transcripts to just find out if she passed!!! I mean really, couldn't they just have posted pass ot fail after she finished the test and then waited to give her the license??? It makes no sense to me. And then the rest of us.. they obvioulsly have the transcripts and stuff so why have us wait!! I may have to wait until Monday or Tuesday for my results since I took the exam on Wednesday.. and CA is definitely slow...:sasq:

Think back to before the exam was done by computer, you generally waited weeks and months to get your results. This is also the same for other countries, they have to wait a while to discover whether they pass or fail when they take their local boards so in general waiting 48 hours isn't that bad.

I know it is frustrating waiting but I just wanted to point out other views and how other countries manage their results
