How Long for CT License?

Published

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a permanent CT license from application time? I currently have a temp license that expires in mid-May. I already requested my nursing school transcript, they should have that already, and my NY license is verified through Nursys. I am only worried however about verification of my CA and PA licenses, which are not Nursys states and I had to send in paper forms. PA might be quick but CA is the one I worry about. Anyone have an idea? Do most people get permanent license before the temporary one expires?

Thanks!

It's now late March and I called the CT BON who verified that the only thing holding up my permanent license is verification of my CA license. CT already received my PA verification. CA cashed my check for their verification fee in early March.

Wondering how much longer I have to wait until CT receives this CA verification. Did not reach anyone when I call the CA BON.

My CT temporary permit expires mid-May, does anyone know the likelihood of getting a perm license before the expiration of the permit?

[COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]Hi there, I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question but please please please get back to me if you can. I have a PA license and need a temp from CT. I've just submitted everything today in the mail. How long did it take you to get our temp??? From what you've said it appears that you don't need official license verification” to get your temp. Is that correct? Their website never actually said the rammications for just your temp. My recruiter said I could get it in a week… I'm supposed to be going May 12 and I'm panicking slightly-mostly because PA will never have my license verified in that time. The CT application for RN license by endorsement never said they needed a copy of my RN license either so that's why I wasn't sure-but of course I sent it. Also, when you called CT BON, how accessible was it to talk to an actual person? They also had a link stating if you need it done sooner to click here” to do it online, but once I did, it never made much sense and brought up a license lookup. Help?!? Thank you![/COLOR]

I think the time it takes all depends on how well the other state's BON works.

I just got my PA license by endorsement from CT and it took less than a month. I heard people from other states trying to get their PA license by endorsement took between 3-6 months.

Some states are more ontop of things. I think CA will be one of those states that are very slow on things. I think PA would be more speedy.

I hope all the best!

Hi there, I already got my CT permanent license. The big holdup was the California verification. I also have PA and they sent verification timely. I got my temp permit within a week of applying. It was fast probably because my original state of licensure is NY, a Nursys participant, so it's online and instant.

Also, I've called the BON twice in CT and they always answer. CA on the other hand is a nightmare!

CT BON is pretty good at answering the phones. On the few occasions Ive called, I alway got a human and they were really helpful.

I know this is a super old thread but I'm an LPN moving from FL to CT. I'm having issues with my transcript. My school sent it three weeks ago and it's still listed as not received. I verified the address the school sent it to and it is correct. Not sure what my next move is..

Hello PacoUSA,

I just wanted to ask you how long did you had to wait to get your CT license after the temp RN, because I got a temp RN license and I was just wondering. Thank you
