If you just took your Nclex exam, you want to know your results as fast as possible. Don’t listen to all the talk, getting questions 75 does not necessarily mean you passed. If you received 265 questions, that does not mean you failed. There is no sense in looking through books to see what questions you remember and if you got them right. You will have to wait it out, the only way to know if you passed is to get your Nclex exam results. Why should you wait and pay for your Nclex exam results when you may be able to get your license number for free? Forget the ‘unofficial’ Nclex exam results, you have to pass to get a license number so find yours.
Nclex Exam Results Step #1
Forget paying pearsonvue $8-10 for quick unofficial results in three days. Find your local board of nursing on the internet by searching “Kentucky (or your state) board of nursing. It should end in .gov, my local board of nursing is Kentucky, kbn.ky.gov.
Nclex Exam Results Step #2
Find the ‘license verification’ link. On Kentucky’s site, click on online services, then scroll down to license validation. On California’s site, click on online services, then click on permanent license verification. On Texas’ site, click on verify a license online. You get the point
Nclex Exam Results Step #3
Now you should either click on the license type you are searching for (LPN, RN, etc) or you will be able to enter information into a search field. On the Kentucky Board of Nursing site, you can click on basic search and you will then be directed to a search field. You can now enter your name or in some states you can search by social security number. In Kentucky, search your name and if multiple names the same as yours come up, click the box of whichever one is you and click enter.
Nclex Exam Results Step #4
If your search results in no matches; your results are not in or you did not pass. No need to worry yet about not passing though because depending on your state, it make take a few days for the results to be scored and a license number to be issued. You can keep trying this search, I searched day and night and finally my license number showed up.
Nclex Exam Results Tips
I live in Kentucky, it took 2 days and finally my license number came up in a search, so give it time. However, I was able to find out faster than my friends who paid for their results through pearsonvue.
You will not get a license number unless you passed your Nclex exam, therefore these are official results that you passed the Nclex exam.
If after 3 days you do not get results, it may then be worth paying pearsonvue to get your ‘unofficial’ results so you will know for sure. You are only charged if your results are in so keep calling and searching for your license number. You may get lucky and get your license number before you get your results.
Note: This only works if you have completed and submitted all of your required hours.
