awaiting license ..

[Jae89]

I passed my nclex last week. How long does it take for my license to come in the mail?

Congrats! =] it usually takes 1-2weeks. But you can already start applying cause your license # and all the info you need is posted on the BRN website. Congrats again =]

It depends on your state. Some states post a license number (all you need to apply for jobs) online within 1-2 days. Other states take several weeks to post a license number. The most accurate resource for this question will be your state BON. Call them and ask.

This reminds me of the old saw about how long a cold lasts with and without treatment. With treatment, about 7 days. Without treatment, about a week. :)

Your license will come in somewhere between two and eight weeks depending on how well-staffed your state's BON is. If you really have to know, call them and ask them directly. But it'll get there anyway.

:ancong!:........it varies place to place the point is you passed!

They can't take it away from you!:anpom:(moved to NCLEX for best response)

Depends on the state and if they actually sent out a license. My state does not, you get a number and a website to verify, no actual paper license.

Do you have to apply for the license? Or they will just mail it to you.. I took my exam 3/28. And paid for the quick result, it says in my status pass... That means I can now celebrate right? New York State
