How long after you graduated did it take you to take the NCLEX-PN?


I am halfway through completing LVN/LPN school (finishing Feb 2010) and was wondering how long did it take for you to take the NCLEX-PN after finishing school? And when did you receive your license? Thanks

less than a month to take the test, about a 3 days for the license number to show up on the state website. I took the NCLEX-RN 6 weeks after graduation, would have taken it sooner but my school screwed up and there was a delay. I passed with the minimum number of questions both times. My license was posted on the state website within 24 hours (different state)

I graduated at the end of Nov. Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, family visiting and the slow mail I didn't even apply until Jan... Took my test in March but I was also 9 months pregnant so I was having issues concentrating on studying. When I graduated with my RN, I took the test a month afterwards.

About 1 month. I wouldn't advise waiting longer. I know 2 people from my graduating class that passed HESSI and failed NCLEX "one in 75," after waiting nearly 2 months to take it. JMHO...

I finished in February, and tested in June, received official results in July. Waiting for license in the mail. Long process if you're in California. Good Luck!
