Frustrated with the BON

U.S.A. New Jersey

Published

I submitted my application for the NJ NCLEX RN, including a letter of completion from my school over 5 weeks ago. I have spoken to the NJ BON several times in the past week, and apparently my entire application is on file except for the letter of completion. No one can give me an answer as to whether the letter has been received or not. They only thing they can say is that it hasn't been "updated" yet and that can take up to 4 weeks. It's been 5. I called back today and now they are saying it can take 6-8 weeks to update it. Why would it take so long for the letter and not for the rest of my application?

How long did it take from the time you submitted your application until you received you ATT?

Does anybody know how long it takes to get a license number once you pass the NCLEX?

I called the BON for the second time today (It's been two weeks since I took my exam and over ten weeks since I submitted my application) and they said it takes 10-15 days for NJ BON to receive the NCLEX results and another 10-15 days for a license number to be issued.

Does this make sense at all? Why would it take they 10-15 days to receive the results when other states post names on their BON sites within a couple of days?

How long did it take you to get a number once you passed the NCLEX? I thought my waiting was over...

Yea I heard NJ takes awhile. I recently graduated from a school in NJ but I applied for licensure in VA and so my license was up within 24 hrs after I took my NCLEX. I am now looking to also apply for license in NJ but everybody makes it seem like its going to take forever. But if you want your NCLEX results I believe NJ offers the 48 hour quick result with Pearson. You do have to pay $8. Hope this helps!
