Hey everyone,
how long did it take to get your fingerprints approved when applying for your license? 2 weeks? 1.5 months? Thanks in advance!

I did my fingerprints in May, and I think it took a few weeks (2 or 3?)
The fingerprints that I did for DPS took 6 weeks. But for the BON, it took way less.
Anyone else? It seems like they take forever!!
How long has it been?
Now that I counted it out, only 3.5 weeks.
Sheesh! I though that it had been longer. Oh well.
What does it say on the BON website under your name?
Anything?
Sheesh, it's been a little over a year, and I've already forgotten how the process works~

"Pending fingerprint results."
I'm so sick of that phrase. Waiting for these results is harder than taking the NCLEX-PN!
Oh bummer!
That's weird, because I remember the BON being pretty quick with everything else. We mailed in our prints with out incomplete application about 4 weeks prior to school ending. Maybe that's why mine were quicker?
Good luck either way!

After receiving my fingerprint card in the mail, I immediately went to the police station and had them taken. I mailed out the card that Friday. By Wednesday of the following week it was showing "pending fingerprint results". It took exactly 11 days after it was showing they got finger print results.
So about 2 weeks or so it took for me. This was just last month.
