How long to wait for license number?

Ok took boards Wednesday. Got good pop-up. Found out today that I passed via the Quick results. So about how much longer do I have to wait to recieve a license number? My job will not start training nor paying me as a nurse until I get that number. Any ideas how much longer I have to wait?

Yes, check your state site. Here in Ohio we can view our license online and they were posted the day after we took the NCLEX.

It depends on your state. I was incredibly lucky, and my license number was posted only an hour after I got home from taking the nclex!!

Yes, MN is very good about that too. License number on the state BON website within 48 hours of passing.

I took NCLEX on the 11th day of that particular month, and my license number was posted on the BON's website on the 13th.
