Would you pass the NCLEX?

I found this site before I took test. There's a quick fun quiz. Would you pass the NCLEX?

Have you heard of the Pearson Vue Trick?

If you have already taken the NCLEX and are not in a Quick Results participating state you are probably going crazy wondering whether or not you passed. I learned about the pearson vue trick way before I took the test and decided to test it on myself before posting about it. I tried it about an hour after taking the test and it worked! I got my official results three week later. If you're interested here's how it works: 

1. Take the NLCEX
2. Log in to Pearson Vue and try to register to take the test again (don't worry, you wont have to pay again)
3. If you receive a pop-up that says, "Error our records indicate you have previously scheduled this test".....you passed. (the good pop-up)

If the registration takes you to the credit card section you either didn't pass or the results need to be audited by the board and they will make the final decision. The PV trick has a 100% accuracy rate for getting the good pop up. The credit card has about an 80% accuracy rate.

Denied But You Still Want to be a Nurse

     A denial from the board is not necessarily a forever no. You have a good chance at getting your license if you are willing to do the work. Here are some things that helped other get licensed after revocation or denial:

1. Proof of rehabilitation
2. Letters of recommendation.
3. Stable employment
4. Obey ALL LAWS until the date of your hearing
5. Pay off or have all traffic tickets up to date
6. Own your mistake
7. (Optional) Volunteer

   The board is looking for honesty, trust, remorse, rehabilitation and stability. They aren't concerned with the state of the economy or how many nurses are already out there, they only consider the case in front of them. Don't be discouraged by a denial. You will most likely get a probationary license depending on your offenses. The terms of the probation vary case by case but I have don't know of any cases where probation is longer than 3 years. If you are granted a probationary license, please follow ALL terms of probation. Trust me, even on small slip up will revoke your license. I think the whole fingerprinting process is the board's way of preventing crime. Another way the board could prevent crime is to lay out their requirements for probation
BEFORE nursing school. I guarantee a large reduction in traffic violations and misdemeanors.
    
   

Can I get Licensed With a Criminal History?

    The short answer is yes, however, this is not a quick or easy task. It is possible to have a DUI, drug conviction, or even a robbery conviction, yikes, and still get licensed. How do I know? Don't take my word for it, see for yourself: California BVNPT Enforcement Chronicles.
