Illinois NCLEX RN

Published

Hi! I just want to share my experience. Took the NCLEX RN exam last March11. PVT worked for me, somehow it will alleviate the anxiety of waiting but still, confirming that you actually passed is like one of the best moments of a Nurse's career. I paid for quickresult. I wasn't able to prepare ideally, because im working as OTnurse here in Abu dhabi. just enrolled for a month in uWorld, and answered the questions for 2 wks. During the exam, i felt exhausted and i shutoff at 90 questions. I just wanted the questions to be stopped @ 75 but still it keeeps on coming. Luckily, i passed.just wondering if anyone here is waiting also for Illinois pass letter? How long it will take for the license registration?

You might want to go ahead & call to say you haven't received your official result yet (Continental would be who you call I believe). My NCLEX -PN letter arrived one week after the test, but after waiting 3 weeks for my pass confirmation for the RN, I called about it; got my letter within a week after I callled. Until you get that, you can't move forward on licensure.

Thank you RainMom, i will try to call them. But after receiving the pass letter, are they issuing license card? How long it will take?

After you receive the official pass letter, you then forward results with your pmt for license to IL BON. If I remember correctly, instructions are with the letter. Getting the license didn't take too long for me, maybe 2-3 weeks. Of course now, they don't send you a paper license, but list your name on the website.

Doesn't matter where you take it, it's the same.
