California is notoriously slow in processing RN and NP licenses. Their website says 10-12 weeks for new licenses (by exam):

You might want to also apply for a temp license, as those are processed faster. That will allow you to work until your perm license is processed.
Congratulations on graduating and passing the NCLEX! Good luck

Hey everyone! I took my NCLEX last Thursday and received my quick results Saturday morning. It's Monday now and the BON still hasn't issued my license but my classmates who took it the same day had theirs issued the day they got the results?
