i was wondering how long does it take to get your license and when should my name be posted in the dph website? i took the exam on 7/25 and passed and my name is not on the dph website...does that mean they havent mailed my license yet since they havent really recognized i passed?

I took my test on 7/9/08, got my results from PearsonVue on 7/11 and it was almost a week before the CT BON had my license number and name on their website. But they had the date effective for my license as the same day i got my results from PearsonVue (7/11)

I still haven't received my actual license yet but I did get a letter from the BON (dated 7/11/08 but postmarked 7/14/08) stating I met the requirements for licensure and it had my license number on it and that it was effective the date of the letter. It went on to say that my formal license would be mailed to me in the near future. (still waiting)

Is this the link you are using to find out? http://www.dir.ct.gov/dph/Scripts/hlthprof.asp

I have a friend who teted 7/26 and found out she passed 7/28 and her name is still not on the BON website either. If you're concerned, give them a call. I found them to be very helpful and friendly.

hey CT PIXIE, thanks for the reply. they still dont have my license #!!! i cant believe it...some of my classmates who took it a later date even the august people got their license #s!! I tried calling today, but there was no one there. If my name does not pop up tomorrow, I shall be calling them again.

I actually emailed them a week ago, and the reply was it takes 7-10 business days for a license # to be issue. i know tomorrow is the 8th business day and well within their timeline, but still i'm getting a little worried. I mean some people get their license # in 2 days!sigh...

Did you check the website today? The just put a ton of names up. That friend of mine who tested 7/26 just had her name and license number go up today. Same thing happened to her, those that tested after her got their names and license numbers up on the website before she did. Like you she was a bit apprehensive about that. No fears, if PearsonVue said you passed..you did. now its a waiting game to see your name on the CT BON site (I'm such a loser that I often go there put my name in and just smile when it comes up with Licensed Practical Nurse after it with my license number :chuckle)

If you haven't checked today, give it a shot.

If it makes you feel any better, I have my name and license number up on the site but I still do not have my actual paper licenses...my new employers Personnel Manager asks me every time she sees me "do you have your license on you" I tell her everytime, "as soon as I get it, you will get it" The Director of Nurses at my facility told the Personnel manager to back off that it sometimes takes weeks to get it and that if my name is up on the website, than indeed, I am a legally licensed nurse...geeshh...some people LOL. Think about it, its a lot easier to forge a paper license than it is to hack the CT BON website and put my name there with a license number..you'd think that the Personnel Mgr would be much more at ease with seeing that my name and # is on the BON website and not be so freaked out that I don't have my actual paper license to show her :lol:

hey pixie, the DPH just called me...they just issued it today...maybe if i havent called they would have continued this delay LOL...so i'm glad i called. thanks for the advice =D
