Current wait time for NCLEX-PN results in CA?

[RN/Mom]

I took the NCLEX-PN on June 6th in California and I still haven't heard anything! When I left the testing center, I was told it would be 2-4 weeks. Since it's not unusual for things to get lost in the mail in my neighborhood, I'm wondering if I should call the Board this week to check on my status.

For those of you who have recently taken the NCLEX-PN in CA, how long did you have to wait for your results?

Thank you!

The wait time for California is ridiculous but what can you do!!! It takes 12 weeks for your PN application to be processed and once you are good to go ---you take your test and wait 5 to 6 weeks for your results and once you passed you have two options regarding your licenses. Send a check for $120 and wait another 3 to 4 weeks or drive to Sacramento and pay the $120 and get a temp licenses and they will mail you the original within 5days also dont forget if you drive thats additional money for gas. You have no choice. I am glad that I passed on the first try :-) and it has been hell for the wait but it did pass and now I can move on. Those of you in CA hang in there! Try to keep yourself busy because you have no choice if you want to be licensed in California you have to go through their process.

Hang in there and in the meanwhile try to keep yourself busy doing other stuff. I drove to Sacramento last week and paid for my licenses and they give me a temporary. My original license will be mailed in 3 weeks instead of 5days and and it show appear on the bvnpt.org website in 2 weeks. The process is very long but what can we Californians do?

So how long from date of graduation to getting your license in hand. All this talk of waiting is stressing me out.

Since the last post was January and most are from last year, I am just wondering what is the average wait time now for nclex pn test result in california? Has there been any change, faster or slower? I took my nclex test end of April so probably by the middle of next week I can start waiting for my result in the mail? I've read from the past post that they've gotten their result within 6-8 weeks! Wow, that is so discouraging, I don't know how I can wait that long. Everday is a struggle for me to get up and go to work. I'm basically dragging myself to work, shower or just do ADL's. I cannot move on until I've gotten my (passing?) result.

To all nclex pn takers within march to april of 09 how long did it took you before you've gotten your results? Please post it here so just to relieve other members's anxiety. Thanks!

Wow! I took my test in California on 10-6-09 and still haven't gotten my results. I called BVNPT and they told me they sent it to the right address but they would re-mail the results to me again. They supposedly sent my result out on the 21st of October. Go figure!
