Hi I'm a California grad. I took the NCLEX the first time and didn't pass in California. I took my NCLEX the second time in Arizona and I'm waiting for the results. I'm wondering how long it takes to get the results because I feel as if I failed it again. My name does not appear on the CA-BRN site. I'm worried; it's been exactly a week since I took it.
Taking it for the second time, I think the results should come in faster, right? Does it lengthen the time if I took it out of state? Does anyone know?

Did you test this second time for CA BRN, or for AZ? If you tested for AZ, then you are not going to see your name on the CA BRN website. It goes by the state that you are testing for. It does not matter where in the world that you write the exam, but the state that you actually test for is the deciding factor.
If you tested for CA this time, things do not get posted any faster the second time around. Remember that when you do not pass, there is no worry if your file is complete or not. And this is also the busiest time of the year and average wait time is ten days. Or could take up to a month.
Best of luck to you.
