Hi everyone! Been following allnurses.com for the past year or so.
I graduated LVN last 2013, attempted to take the NCLEX on July 2015 at Anaheim testing center. Computer stopped at 91 or 95? Can't remember, but failed miserably. I had a review class I was attending to and Saunders to help me review. Tried the PV trick 24 hrs after the test but it gave me the "card declined" error message since the card didn't have enough money. - I got depressed and felt like nursing isn't the career for me.
2 years later took another chance at taking NCLEX since my hubby was forcing me to. But this time I decided to enroll in Kaplan's self-paced review along with Saunders book. Took my test last Dec 6, finished all 205 questions after 2 hrs and 40 mins. After item 85 my computer didn't shut down, I was sure I failed. I felt like half of the items I didn't know. I was afraid to do the trick, and finally after 5 days my guts told me to, and got the "good pop up" tried twice just to make sure. i was still getting it. I was so happy l, felt like a ton of weight got lifted off my shoulders. But I read about a lot of people getting the good pop up but still ends up failing. I heard about the breeze trick too, so yesterday I tried it. I didn't see any "application for initial license", but today tried logging in again and saw the choice on the drop down menu. So, I think I passed? But I can't be too sure till I get the mail.
I live in CA so the waiting game is real here. So goodluck to me!

I'm in the same boat. I graduated in 2010 though and finally attempted it again on Dec 8. I got the good pop-up and on Breeze CA it is now giving me the option to pay $150.00 for my license. I think we just have to be patient but this sucks. I've been waiting for this day and the wait is brutal! Good luck!
I know! It's crazy. Hopefully it won't take over a month long. Goodluck to us!
I passed! I got my letter yesterday!
Wow! Congrats! I on the other hand, still no letter. í ½í¸‘
