Took NCLEX RN (2nd time)in CA on Thur.. No Name on BON website today-Help!

Published

The site is 1 day behind, so it says it updates Mon-Fri, but actually updates Tues-Sat for the previous day. In my case, I took the test for my second try on Thursday in CA. The CA BON website updated Fri (for Thur), Sat (for Fri), and Tues (for Mon- yesterday). I studied 6-9hrs a day (NCSBN online program) this time. Most of my friends found out by day 3. Does this mean I failed?!! I am soooooo sad and can't muster up any hope that it may post tomorrow. I had 2 friends who took 4 days to post, but that's because (I think), the CA BON didn't update one of the days. My hospital is giving my position to a more experienced nurse today (they won't wait until tomorrow ;() & I am just sooooo upset. Any advice? I can't work (No IPN) and I am really feeling like I may have made the hugest mistake by even going to nursing school. This isn't worth the pain I am feeling. I studied so hard... it's just not fair.

I am not sure about CA BON website. I'm from NY. I used https://www6.pearsonvue.com/ I became a free-member before taking nclex and actually registered there before exam. I got my results 49hours later. I hope this helps. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck ;)

CA doesn't participate with the "Quick Results" through Pearson Vue. We have to check for "Permanent Lisence Verification" on the BON Website. We type in our name, then it either shows up or not. Calling Pearson doesn't do anything here ;( Thanks for the advice though. Anyone know about the online wait time specifically for me in CA, with the info on my test I provided?

Val i 2 feel the PAIN this is so depressing!!! I also took NCLEX-RN last thursday 09-13-07 in San Diego stopped on 75 my last question was select all that apply. I was really hoping that i pass this time but to my dismay i havent seen my name in BON website they say it took 2-3 days to post if you pass. So thus this mean we failed again.Please update me if you any news or idea since we both took last thursday....Im so depressed....Thank You

I took mine in SD too! & got 75 too! wierd. 2x's in a row. Maybe we should take it in "PASS-adena" hehe. I am so hoping that we have tomorrow too... do you think it's possible? My friend said it took 4 days for him and another guy to pass online.

You can't break too. Don't you think it was kind of interesting that we don't know each other, yet we both took our test same place, same time same # of questions & we are both going through the same issue? Don't you think it's wierd that we both came on allnurses at the same time? I believe we were meant to meet... we don't have much else right now... except the fact that there is someone else in the area going through the same thing. This sux! It hurts very badly... I can't imagine having to go through this again! Maybe the 3rd time is a charm?

Took mine on Friday Sept 14 in PASS-adena, and for various reasons I have very little confidence about having passed. I noticed what the first poster said about the BRN website being a day behind, but I also have no clue how the BRN works. I'll definitely keep my eyes on this thread.

Anyone else take theirs last week in California?

i too took my nclex rn test last tuesday 9/11 & my name does not appear on the bon website :( but here is what suzane had told me:

Average wait time is ten days to see your name on their website, not the two or three days that you hear about. And if you graduated from a program in CA, then you could have been given permission to test before they had a completed file on you.. Name will never be posted until that happens, and it can take up to a month.

so dont loose hope. goodluck to us!

Suzanne told me that too & I have even heard of the occasional person who doesn't see their name on the website in the 2-3 days... then they get a letter 2 weeks later saying they passed! It is so rediculously screwy isn't it? Everyone of my friends who passed in CA saw their name on the CA BRN website after day 3 & some day 4. The ones who didn't, got their letter of not passing exactly 2 weeks after taking the exam. One of my friends took theirs in July and still hasn't heard anything! It's absolutely crazy too that the BON increased the standard for passing in April (I believe thats the month). Don't they want more nurses?! I just don't understand it. I have had transcripts lost and mail never sent by the BON... scary to think that strangers hold your life in their hands & you are at the mercy of how long they will take. I pray for all of us waiting and having to re-take the exam... it's the hardest thing I've ever faced in my life.

The BON did not increase the standards but even then it has not changed by much something like 0.1 or 0.01%

Good luck I know waiting is not nice
