how long till you got your license?

Hi there! Just wondering how long it took before you received your license, I'm assuming you've received it by now. Just found out I passed the boards on Friday (23rd) and I start orientation March 5th.

Most people receive their license within 2 weeks of passing the NCLEX. If you don't get it, call the BON which is a PITA because it takes an act of God to get a live person there. After 3 weeks of passing my NCLEX I still hadn't heard anything and was freaking out. I spent 3 days getting a live person and found out that they had some freak discrepancy about the spelling of my name and held up my license for that - rather than actually CALL me and ask me about it, they just held it. They gave me my number over the phone which I was able to pass on to the hospital I was working for and they could call and verify anyway. After that phone call it took about a week for it to show up in the mail.

Thanks so much! Luckily my nurse recruiter was able to get a hold of my license # for me since I too had difficulty speaking to a "human", all I kept getting was the recording.
