The NCLEX wait...

Published

Did my instructor lie to me? I keep reading posts of people waiting for weeks when my instructor told me we get our results online in 24 hours. What's the deal?

Most states have the 48 hour quick results option, but some do not.

If you took NCLEX for a state that does not participate in the quick results option, you might be waiting weeks (even months) for your results. Many of our California test-takers had to endure a long wait for their results.

In Indiana, I was able to look online at the Indiana Professional Licensing Association's website to find out if I passed or not. It didn't TELL me I had passed or failed, but the next day I had a license number. A pretty fair indicator that I had passed. In a different area on the site it gave my info plus the date of issue for my license. I never received anything in the mail to signal my status other than a license a couple of weeks later. Good enough for me! I simply can not FATHOM waiting weeks to months to find out. Has anyone ever heard an explaination as to why it takes so long?
