I passed the nclex and it's been a week and a half since I submitted my $162 fee to get the license. Anyone know how long Hawaii takes to give a license after one has passed their exam? There's no info as far as duration on their website and the phones always leave me on hold for forever.

Some of my classmates' licenses were active after about 2-3 weeks, but there were a few like me who had to wait 1-2 months until we could search for our licenses on the licensing website. A couple of my classmates tried calling in the hopes that it'd speed up the processing of their paperwork, but it really didn't do much for them.

My potential employer has been holding a job for me until they can issue a temp license. It has been a month since I passed my NCLEX and 3 weeks since they have received the payment and still nothing.
