Good morning nurses. Does anyone knows how long does New York take to activate your Nurse lic? I just passed the Board last Thursday.

Hi, 

I passed my exam on the 30 June but still after two and half months there is no license or official result? Do you have any advice for me?

That is very strange. You don't see any results on the NYS Verifications Search when you put in your name?

I am really tired of waiting, I have not seen my name on license verification page, there is not any notification.

Mine posted nine days after I passed the NCLEX; I'm in NY.

OK so exactly that’s what it took. Now for sure we know NY takes 9 days!! And after that it took me 5 more days to receive my lic and diploma. 

Really? So why did they mention that it will take 6-8 weeks on the NY Board web? I am really confused, try to call them this week but I don’t know they will answer my call? 

I took my NCLEX-RN on 7.9.22. The NY state nursing board approved my licensure, which they confirmed over the phone, on 7.29.22. My license number was issued a few days later.

Did it really take you 20 days to find out that you passed?

How Long did if finally take you to finally get your license? My husband is in the same situation. He passed NCLEX 8 weeks ago and still nothing.

Hi,

for NY Board, you have to take the mandatory certificates such as infection control and child abuse. If you don’t want to work for children you don’t need to take the training for child abuse, but in this case you have to fill up the document about your situation. My license was delayed because I forgot to fill this document and after calling the board I learnt the reason for delay. I hope my answer helps you. 

Thanks for the response.  Yes. He did the mandatory trainings.  He called when he made the 7th week waiting and they said they were still processing it.
