Can I write "RN" if only have license number online

Published

I just passed my NCLEX and found my license number confirmed on the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing Website. I know it will take a few weeks for them to mail a paper copy of my license, but in the mean time- can I write "RN" after my name on resumes I am handing out?
