AFTER passing NCLEX in CA

Published

After passing NCLEX in CA, how long until it is posted on BON website and, when can yoou apply for a job.

I am a bit concerned because I "thought" that if you took it and passed it, is posted within a few days and then employers can look it up online.

But now I am hearing it takes 6-8 weeks for you to be able to apply for jobs and be official.

Appreciate the help and hoping this is not correct (I have number to take test and plan on doing that in 3 weeks; I am in Northern CA).

I'm in CA as well. It usually takes 48 hours. I took mine on a Friday so it took four days.

Thank you and congratulations! So does this mean you are now "good to go" and can now apply for jobs with your RN # that is listed?

Absolutely. I have friends that got hired in the hospital before they even passed their NCLEX.
