Hello everyone I need some help and some positive vibes sent my way.
First let me explain my experience so far I took the Nclex-PN for the first time in October 2017 and the computer shut off at 191 questions I walked in not feeling confident and walked out unsure and confused. I had that gut feeling that I had failed, I tried the PVT and I did it completely wrong I put all the correct information and it's charged me but not knowing I did it wrong I started bawling my eyes out in the parking lot outside the testing center and felt like I had let everyone including myself down I was upset and depressed but the people around me told me to be positive. One of my friends has a co-worker that is now a RN that the same thing happened to her and she paid the $200 and ended up passing. So I was holding onto that hope by a thread. I tried breeze by registering and by seeing what was under my manage applications and it had the retake option and no initial license option I was so upset. But I got my official result in exactly 3 weeks and 4 days that I had failed I cried the whole day grieving and upset thought my life was over like my world was destroyed right in front of my eyes lol, but the following day I picked myself back up and started studying again. By the way I studied both times using just Uworld my scores improved the 2nd time around from only scoring 48-60 the first time to 60-89 the second time and I was always abover average. I had recently just taken my Nclex-PN exam for the second time and I walked in feeling excited alittle nervous because of course it's a very important exam, and I walked in confident and as I was testing once I passed 85 questions and the computer didn't shut off I knew I was expecting it to shut off at 205 and what do you know it shuts off at 205. I heard that if you remember the last question to type it into google and if your answer was right you passed and if it was wrong you failed. Well my question was no where to be found in google! (Of course that would happen to me) I waited 4 hours to try the PVT and I got the bad pop up I was only alittle upset but I didn't want to loose hope I also tried the breeze again and nothing has changed in my account it still says the same options as it did before I took my exam with the retake option. So at this point I'm just hoping and praying that I passed because this time felt way different then the first and now thinking about it I'm more calm and confident I honestly feel like I didn't fail. Before I had that feeling like I knew I failed this time it feels completely polar opposite. It's been a week and 1 day since I took my exam in the state of California. I'm still waiting for my results. I need to hear some positive stories please, some positive vibes or if you've been in the same situation as me. Or if you have taken the exam in California around the same time as me and already received your results.
The waiting process isn't killing me as much since I've been through it and especially waiting for them to send me the approval of my retake exam application that took about 4 months to get in the mail was worse. I just don't want to have to go through that process again.
FutureBSN.22----Any word regarding your results? I took my NCLEX PN on 3/29 and according to Breeze and BON when I called, they have not "reviewed" my NCLEX results. I know the computer automatically grades it, but I was told a live person will go over it to check. And they said my letter has not been mailed out yet. So frustrating!!!
So I'm so nervous reading all these comments. I took my test Sept 10 and felt defeated. I cried and I tried the PVT 2 Days after and still try it and it shows the "good pop up". Today I called BVNPT just to see i I can get any info, or about repaying to take an exam she didn't say much just for me not to pay for it, she said I probably didn't need to. I read about doing the breeze and since I have an act I checked it, I have the option to pay the initial license and it lets me get to the 150$. I didn't pay it since the lady from BVNPT said they sent me a letter last Wednesday 2 Days after testing. I'm so nervous. I was for sure I failed now I'm unsure and I am hopeful but I can't allow myself to get excited
After taking my exam on August 22nd and finishing in 75 questions I was confident that I passed. Days passed by and my Breeze account only said Pending but I got the good pop on Pearson. I was so worried that I may have failed but the test seemed too easy and then I started to doubt myself. As it came close to the one week mark I called the BRN and the guy I spoke to told me that everything looked good on his end and my results should be up within 2 weeks. Then 2 weeks hit and I called and they said wait until 4 weeks but my results were not on file. At this point I was frustrated and was constantly looking up forums on Allnurses because it made me feel better. Those of you who are at SDSU talked me into how there was no way I failed and in my heart I believed that too! Then the 3rd week came and I called and had the same guy answer from the previous week and he told me that he could send something to the licensing department and to wait another week. I called on Monday September 17th and Barry (who I spoke to the previous two times) unfortunately answered again he told me to wait because my results were not on file and he could send something to the licensing department. He told me this last week so I knew he did nothing. Then on Tuesday September 18th at 10am I decided to call the BRN again but this time instead of pressing 0 I pressed 1 and then 2! Then a sweet guy answered who worked on my case all day yesterday and even called me two times to communicate what had gone wrong and what he was doing! The last time he called was to tell me that I passed and my license would be up by today September 19th. The wait was finally over and I was so relieved. My results got lost (of course) by the BRN but today marks exactly one month of me taking my test. If anyone is going through the same thing as I did just know there is hope you passed and your results may have been lost like mine ! I can now say that I am finally Lauren RN after a month of anxiously waiting
It's really up in the air. I tested in CA 9/10 and I learned of the PVT and tried it 2 Days after. I got the good pop up and the options. Changed on breeze but when I called today again after the 2nd time the lady said not to pay when I asked her if I should pay the fee of 150 she said "don't becuase we don't issue refunds". That's like no hope for me. I wonder how accurate these tricks are because I'm so nervous. I just want to be working already. I also challenged the board since I left school 1 week to finishing so I'm technically not considered a "graduate" so I don't even qualify for the interim permit. Maybe my results take longer since to get a test date took nearly 9 months. I'm just not sure how to feel, I just want to call myself an Lvn already. AND at least celebrate to something instead of being so damn stressed and overwhelmed
I tested for N-Clex PN, here in Nor-Cal on 09/21/18, ran out of time at question 185. Anyone hear of this being a good thing? I've heard mixed feedback on this issue. Please any input would help. Thanks! I've decided to not do the PVT trick...
I got 2 good pop up from PVT, and also see the pay for initial license on breeze. However, I have not received my result, or any email to let me know whether I pass or not. Should I still pay for the initial license on breeze? How do I pay for the license if I do not know/have license number?
