Current wait time for NCLEX-PN results in CA?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

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!

Thanks for the info! I heard that you can start work with the pass letter from the board and they can verify your license was applied for online.

With PN they will not be able to verify online until they have received and processed fees so be careful

You'll probably get your result in a month, i took my test on July 18th and then i got my results on Aug. 24. Just wait for another two weeks, maybe it'll be worth the wait. :) GOOD LUCK!!!!! :yeah:

The waiting time is about 5 wks or maybe 6. I took mine on Aug 13th and still waiting for the results. I called the VN board yesterday and they were currently mailing out the results for Aug 5th. I am thinking I will get my results next week (which will make it 5 wks). You should have a couple more weeks. Good luck and hang in there! YES, the wait is a killer!!!

Hi just joined the forum. Wish I had learned about this forum before I took my NCLEX. Found that there were so many tips and information that could've been useful before I took the test. But anyway, joining the waiting game.....took the test on Sept 9th. Five to six seems like a long wait but what can we do? At least I have all of you people to share my thoughts as we wait for the sweet "passed" letter. :yeah:

I will agree with you! The very long wait was horrible. I tested Aug 13th and 5 1/2 weeks later I got my results. I PASSED and had 85 questions. So far, everyone that has gotten there results from my class has passed. Good luck and the wait will be over soon.....
