the following day after i received my eligibility notice to take the nclex, i was just too excited.  the original plan was i was to register thru a call but i was too preoccupied to set this up for myself – so i registered online.

after about less than twelve hours i got this e-mail from pearson vue,  my authorization to test:

the authorization to test (att) is valid for a one (1) year period.  if you do not appear for your scheduled examination appointment or do not take the examination before the one (1) year period expires, you will be required to reapply to the board and register with pearson vue.

so my next step: hunt for review materials!

just got my christmas present a few hours ago:

i’m eligible again to take the nclex-rn!  yey!  so my next step is to call pearson vue and i’ll do that when i go home for days off next week.

last january, i took the nclex-rn examination back in manila.  i was on my days off then but the problem was i wasn’t ready.  i had the chance to reschedule the exam but i still took it - it was a bad choice.  it was sort of jumping off from a cliff with a parachute on but not being sure if it will work or not.  then came the results after about two weeks in the mail when i was back here.  when i saw the white envelope, i knew i flunked:

we regret to inform you that you did not pass the nclex-rn examination.  enclosed is your nclex-rn candidate performance report.

i did so bad.  i mean very bad.  out of 8 content areas of the examination, i got 6 of them as below passing standard, 1 as near the passing standard and 1 above the passing standard. 

enclosed is a board of registered nursing request for repply/repeat examination application to reapply for board eligibility to take the nclex-rn examination.

if the exam is not taken again within two years from the date of the last examination, the application will be considered as abandoned and the files destroyed.  that is one reason i have to reapply, and next time i have to make sure that i am ready for it.
