So I took Nclex-RN yesterday. I walked in calm, said a prayer and told myself I was not going to rush through it. Granted, this was my third time going in and sitting for the nclex. The two other times I took it, the first time I received the entire 265 questions, and the second time I received 75. I was not giving up hope to be a nurse, so I studied and studied. I knew yesterday was in God's hands. I told myself to stay strong. The second question I received a SATA, so I took my hand off the mouse and carefully read each answer as if I was answering them T/F. Well, I decided to tally and let me tell you I was not expecting this, but I received 30 SATA questions ?. I had other alternative format (drag and drop, a cardiac rhythm strip, an image) but 0 drug calculations. Test shut off after 75 questions. I had priority, follow up, conference, and infection control questions. Since this was my third time taking it, I felt confident leaving the testing center, since I didn't feel the questions I had this time compared to how they were the past two times. I am NOT doing the PVT. I have read that they updated the website, and now you have to enter your cc information no matter what. Besides, it killed my mood the last time. I am waiting it out for quick results or until is see my name on the BON page (hopefully I passed!) my advice to everyone taking the nclex is NEVER give up on yourself and your dreams. You got through nursing school, you can get through nclex.

Pdanne01,

Im in CA and no they don't participate in quick results and not wanting to ruin my mood with trying the new pvt if it's not 100% so for now just enjoying not having to study for that awful test!

I know people are saying that pvt doesn't work anymore, but did you try it anyways? My state doesn't participate in quick results so I've been trying to sumbit my payment and it still will not let me. The Red triangle with an exclamation point and "our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam blah blah blah" & I took my exam on 9/4/14

LVNtobe,

I did not try the PVT. I didn't want to risk losing $200. But if yours is not letting you proceed to continue with submitting your payment & it's saying "our records indicate..." Then this is pretty much similar to the PVT's old pop up! So it is more than likely a good sign. Good luck!

So my curiosity and anxiety was killing me today and I decided to try the trick.... I'm getting the good pop up! I can't believe it! Now I just have to wait for CA BRN to hurry up! This definitely makes my weekend!

From the caring4you website the new PVT is that it will always take you to the CC page but if you passed it will not charge your card. The way they said to get around paying and still checking is to use a closed account cc or put in a wrong #. If it says the transaction was not completed due to an error on your card you failed the test because it means they tried to charge your card. If it says anything else than that...you passed. Good luck everyone and congrats again Pdanne01, RN.

Good pop up most likely means you passed! That's very good! Now take some time for yourself, and go out and celebrate this weekend! :D

I passed!!! I just saw my name on the BRN website! Thank you lord!

Congratulations and much admiration for not giving up. I took it twice myself and passed the second time. God is good all the time.

Someone did try the good pop up and paid the $200 thinking at that point they failed the exam, but actually they had passed!! Pearson Vue could not and would not refund their money...so $200 GONE! DO NOT TRY THE GOOD POP UP! So be patient and wait.

I am just curious how can i find my name on the board of nursing website? So when the time comes ill know what to do. Is it my name that will show or? Thanks in advance

Funkyrntobe,

Go to your board of nursing website. And go to "look up a licensee" or "online verification" and you should be able to type in your name. If you passed nclex, your name and license number will appear, along with it stating that it's "active"
