How long for licensure?

Hello everyone...

I was wondering if anyone knows how long it generally takes to receive an RN license after passing the boards. I know I passed thanks to those wonderful quick results, now I'm eager to get my license so I can start working. Thanks... :)

Congratulations!! It took 2-3 weeks for me to receive mine in the mail about 3 years ago. I'm sure it hasn't changed much.

Keep checking the BON website daily ... typically your licensure will show up there first, before you receive your actual paper copy in the mail.

I took the NCLEX on June 14th, learned I passed on June 16th (thanks to Quick Results). Then I saw my RN # pop up on the GA Board of Nursing website on June 21st and got my actual paper license in the mail on June 23rd. All very fast!
