I took the NCLEX on July 11th, 265 questions, worst experience of my life, thought for certain I had failed, but lo and behold, I got the good pop-up on the PVT! Thank God. My thanks to all of you posters out there whose posts have kept me positive during this emotional and stressful time.:) Of course, that is unofficial, and it takes weeks to get the written license from the CA BON. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for a successful NCLEX exam taker to appear as a licensed RN on the CA BON website? I'd really like some official confirmation sooner than 3 to 4 weeks. Thank you.
