we are seeing more and more posts regarding california and getting results.
for pn it takes on average 4 weeks to get your results, until you get your results via snail mail and pay for your license you will not see your name on the website and will not have a license issued. sometimes it may take longer to get your results if there has been a large influx of applications and test takers. if you find you have to contact them because you haven't heard anything they will usually indicate on what date they are processing.
for rn you will only have a license issued if you have a ssn and have given it to the brn. if you have no ssn then you will not see your name on the brn website. if you inform them you have a ssn after your application is sent in or after you have taken the nclex then give them a few days to up date their files on you. it takes approx 3-10 days to get your results online (as long as you meet requirements and have a completed file) although can take longer. do not ring them until at least 2 weeks has gone passed as the more people ring means a delay on updating yours/others file. majority of times you do not hear anything is due to a incomplete file as california allows you to sit nclex in most cases with a incomplete file, they will not release your results until it is complete. we have had members contact brn to find that there is a problems with their fingerprints or their transcripts haven't arrived so can easily be something simple enough to sort out.
any questions regarding california please post here
if you are a foreign trained nurse and applied to california and have no ssn then you will not see your name on the website and if you do not provide a ssn within the 3 years then your file is destroyed which does include your nclex results. if you are caught up in retrogression and your 3 years are nearly up then we suggest you apply to another state for licensure by exam and arrange with ca to forward your nclex results. you will still have to meet the bon requirements for foreign trained nurse so do not leave this to the last minute.

I took the NCLEX-RN. I am certain my file is complete.
I would suggest waiting until 14 days and then ring and check. Some think their file is complete when it isn't, can be something simple as fingerprints.
Apologies for mixing you up and thanks for clarifying
There was a discrepancy with my file before I tested, which I corrected, something to do with my transcript. Fingerprints, ssn, personal data, etc. is all there. Thanks for the prompt answer, silverdragon102, I will resume worrying for the next week until I get the letter.
I just got the official word today, and I passed. I am so thankful and relieved. Bless you all for allowing me to vent a little bit, it was certainly a long wait. I wonder why California does not allow the 'quick results' as in other states. It was an agonizing wait. Thank you one and all for your prayers and support.

Congratulations.
Ca will allow people to sit with an incomplete file as long as your nursing school sent in notification that you will graduate, they then wait for tall the paperwork to arrive
Hi I applied for California...Are there any new regulations? I will be taking my test on march 2009? Any advice for me? I bought a Saunders new edition.....please reply...thanks
Until you get it in writing I wouldn't give up. 4 days doesn't mean anything as results can take anything from 3 days onwards. Again all depends on your file

I'll be honest and say I am not sure but could be just business days as no one will be in the BRN offices over the weekend plus take into factor now is the holiday season so may take a few days longer

It can take anything from 3-10 days and sometimes even longer regardless on SSN. Really there is nothing you can do but wait
