How long before you begin working should you take the NCLEX? I was wanting to take it about a week and a half before I begin work... is that enough time for me to be told I've passed and get my license, or do you need to take the test earlier?? I'm just trying to figure out when I can begin work... Thanks!

In Ohio a week and half should be plenty. I understand thay are very on the ball in posting results on the website...usually only takes a day or so after the test.

so once you results are up on the website, you can start working, without having your license in hand yet?
