:confused: Hello Everyone!! I am new on this site and have really enjoyed all the posts. I am 29, mother of 4 who ALWAYS wanted to be in the Medical field. I started slow and did nights while my husband stayed home with kids :) I stair stepped from CNA, to Associates in Medical Assisting, to LPN, then on to my RN...took about 4 years but here I am today excited to work as an RN...BUT THERE'S A KINK HERE!!! I was wondering if anyone out there has answers for me NOW? I took my RN NCLEX on Friday at 8AM. I learned of the "trick" and shortly after finishing my test I received the "pop-up" that means your exam is still being processed. My state participates in the QuickResults feature and it is supposed to allow me to view my "unofficial" results EXACTLY 48 hours from the time of my appointment. I checked this morning at EXACTLY 8AM and NOTHING!!! It still says my results are NOT available!! I am in pain!! LITERALLY!! I know I shouldn't complain cuz there are some states that make you wait an ENTIRE month which, in my opinion is LUDICROUS, but I was thinking from the beginning that I was going to get my results NO LATER THAN today at 8AM...and then EVERYONE and their mother is calling me asking me if I passed and I keep having to go through it OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! Anyone have any suggestions or answers for me...besides that I have to wait till tomorrow? Why would they not give me my results? BTW I took the test with two of my friends and they both have their results...WHAT IS THE DEAL??? Please HELLLLLLLLPPPP!!! :banghead:

You should get a refund of your Quick Results fee since the info was not provided when promised.

Hi and welcome

Quick results are usually available after 48 hours from sitting the exam, sometimes it can take that little bit longer and doesn't mean there is a problem.

Hang in there and good luck

I didnt pay for my QuickResults because it wouldn't even let me access them...usually you go to pearsonvue, log in and go to your current activity and from there you can click on QuickResults when it says "your results are available." However, on MY current activity page it still says "your results are not available at this time..." I have checked it sporadically today but still the same :( I'll get through this...just didnt know if maybe someone had some insight as to why they would do this...

**UPDATE** I am still waiting!!! I talked to the KSBN this morning at 8 and the lady told me that PV was holding my test because I went over my allotted time...how is this MY fault...I clicked on the next button 2 seconds b4 my time ran out and then it didnt automatically shut off...so I took another ONE minute to answer the last question and then clicked next and it shut off! So why are they still reviewing my exam? This is sooo very frustrating...I feel so helpless!!! The lady at the KSBN said that it is probly cuz I am right on the verge and this last question either makes or breaks me...and since I went over the time limit with this ONE QUESTION, they cant decide whether or not to pass or fail me!! I am sick to my stomach and have a headache!! UUUuuuuggghh!!

Such agony!

Before NCLEX we sat for 2 FULL days with paper and pencil taking tests in silences with break for lunch only.

Boards were taken in either July or February, and results took 6-12 weeks to come in the mail.

THAT my dear WAS agony waiting. Because, you got to work as a Graduate Nurse before the results came, if you didn't pass you were demoted to Nursing Assistant and humiliated till the next board date.

Good Luck. You are correct the computer glitch was NOT your fault. I hope they let you pass.

I just keep checking to see if they've posted my results like twice an hour....and then nothing!!! It's making me crazy LOL!! Im like...you just never know...maybe they posted them now...then agaaaaain nothing...over and over LOL geeze Im driving myself insane :) I know I shouldn't complain but they can't hold my results captive for too much longer...right?
