Took NCLEX Yesterday, Just Checked my Board of Nursing Just Now....

Published

So i took the nclex in Maryland yesterday (may 27) and just checked the website this morning and saw my name and registered nurse as the license, but no license number. When I click on it, the status says, "pending." Does this mean I passed?? My name wasn't showing up yesterday - just this morning for the first time. Why would they post this if you failed? Help, please!

For BVNPT you pay for your license after passing not BRN

Oh! Okay! I thought you were talking about NCLEX-RN. Whoops

Congrats. Studied for only 3 weeks?! You must be a genius!!

hahaha while that is very kind of you to say, i have to give credit to my program for preparing me well! i did well throughout nursing school (with lots of hard work), and just wanted to take the test as soon after graduation as I could while everything was still relatively fresh! I will admit that the NCLEX (now that I know I passed) was not nearly as daunting as people make it out to be. During the test, I was worried I wasn't doing well because the questions seemed too straightforward and simple (not necessarily easy, but not nearly as complex as previous exam questions or most of the kaplan questions). I think if anyone tried hard during their program and succeeded and then takes the NCLEX soon after graduation, it is more difficult to not pass than to pass!

which did you like better between the qbank and NCSBN?

they're just different. NCSBN is definitely good for content review. I reviewed material I was rusty on and used their practice questions to solidify the information. Kaplan is good for priority questions (which patient should you see first, etc.). It just depends where your strengths and weaknesses lie!

Took me exactly one week after my school notified me that they sent my paperwork. Nclex on the 22nd!

I didnt think a 2 day wait would be hard.... jeez, i was wrong!

we have to wait 3-4 weeks

How best to survive the wait without going insane?

Get on with your life, check the website the day your results are due up and plan accordingly

Does it say "Complete" on the checklist part when you pass? When I checked the day of the test(yesterday), it didn't say complete in that part. Today is the day after the test and it now has my school's info under the education section as well as completed and completed date in the checklist section. I hope that means I passed! Still no license number though.. I never thought this test would cause so much anxiety!

CareQueen did you pass?! I'm getting the same thing and am wondering if it means I failed!!!

Did you end up passing?! The Maryland BON has updated some of my info on the license page since I took the test yesterday (school info), and they did add a "complete" after the checklist portion. But no number still. Wondering if this means anything?!

Question did you checklist information at the bottom of the page say complete while your license status said pending???

Thanks
