Illinois Licensing - LPN

Published

Specializes in LPN.

Hi all,

I took my NCLEX-PN on December 23 and found out I passed on the 25th! 

I've heard the Illinois is one of the states that take a while for you to actually get your license and start working. (side note: I know that I can expect a letter coming soon that I can practice as a nurse with a pending license)

Does anyone know approximately how long I have to wait for my name to pop up on the board? I heard I should also be expecting a letter in the mail for me to fill out to process my license along with a $50 money order.

 

Thanks so much!

Have you received your license already? 

How long did it take?

@JEMIK I have yet to submit my application for licensure. I can tell you though that a friend of mine who took the exam got his results, applied for his license to be released, and had his name pop up in the BON all within 3 weeks. I'll keep you updated from my personal experience!

@JEMIK I mailed my application (dropped in a mailbox) Friday Feb 12 and my name was on the BON Feb 18!
