California LVN BreEZe

[lCANDYl]

Has anyone from California that passed their NCLEX recently used breeze to get their license? If so, how long did it take to get your license? ?

I just found out I passed last week and I used breeze to pay for my license, it says "Pending", do you guys know how long that will take to be processed? Thank you.

Today marks 3 weeks 2 days and I've not gotten anything regarding my results; when I log onto my BreEZe acct it still does not allow me to re-apply to retake, says I have an open application; which indicates to me that they're still processing results. This kind of wait should be against the law! I've seriously gone completely crazy! Getting all 205 ?'s has me feeling torn still, I got a 50/50 shot at this point... Anyone else in Northern CA and test on or around Sept 29th?

@ksalazar82 Did you receive a letter saying "congratulations you have met the requirements...." if so....that is your passing letter. I have a couple of friends who took the nclex at that time and have received their letters

[ksalazar82]

Valerie, NO I haven't received anything... I called the BON last week and inquired how much longer it might be before I get my results, I got a super nice lady and she indicated to me in several different ways that I was "good", not sure why she'd give me that impression if I had failed. She advised me that I needed to be patient and give it 2 more weeks... I know they're not allowed to hint to you either way, however this lady leaned more towards a passing to me and in more than one instance. Who knows... I'm hoping I'll get some kind of news by next week, cause honestly this wait is too much!!!!

[ValerieW]

@ksalazar82...I agree that is too long a wait. Hopefully you'll get something soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. í ½í¸†

Thank you! I'm trying to hang onto some hope, but its getting harder and harder as the days go by; hoping by next week I'll get something... I was wondering if you knew if you could apply for the interim permit without results? Do they void it if you've been deemed at fail? How does that work?

[ValerieW]

Yes, you can apply for the interim permit. It's $40 and it's a1 page form. It's intended for people who haven't taken the nclex, but since you haven't gotten your results you can probably still get one. And yes they will void it if you failed. All of my friends and myself got our letters within a week of taking the test. We all live in the Sacramento area. I don't know what's taking the BON so long.

Hi did you pick up your temporary in Sacramento? I got my pass letter last week and thinking about driving up to Sacramento to pick up a temporary license. I just wanna be sure we can request one and pick up same day before I take the 6 1/2 hr drive. :/

The interim permit is only for people who have not gotten results yet?

[ValerieW]

@griseldab2001. Yes, the interim is for if you havent taken the test and gotten results, because if you fail the nclex your interim gets revoked.

The interim permit and the temporary license are not the same thing. The temporary permit states that you have passed and have met the legal requirements to practice as an LVN. In order to get your temporary permit you have to pay the $150 for your real license first I believe

[griseldab2001]

Oh gotcha thanks :)

How long does it take to get your temporary license, im in California

[ValerieW]

@tameen. If you pass the test and pay on breeze or pay in person for your actual license then they give you the temporary license for free on the spot
