Testing tomorrow - fingerprinting issues

Hi everyone,

I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX tomorrow; about a week and a half ago, I received a letter from the OR state board saying that the prints I submitted were not accepted by the FBI because they were too light. So I had them redone July 8th and called the board to verify that I can still take the test, etc. They said I can still take the NCLEX and pass (or fail!) but that they can't release results until the fingerprints go through...which can take up to a month.

Is anyone else currently having this problem? Is there a way to find out if you pass/fail the test pending fingerprints? I know about PVT - I'm just worried I'd question it and just stress myself out more.

I suppose I shouldn't complain - my boyfriend said he had to wait 3 months for the results from the bar exam!

If the state participates in quick results then really that is the only other way you can get results.Official results come from the BON. PVT isn't official and is more of a peace of mind whilst waiting for proper results

Good luck. Hope you don't have to wait long.
