I'm from NY, how long does it take to see your name on the BON website

I was wondering the same thing! I took mine on 7/10 and it's not posted yet.

Took about 10 days for mine to show up. I wrote on the 2nd, and it was up on the evening of the 12th. It may take longer or shorter, they told me, depending on how many people they have to process. For reference though, mine showed up at the end of the working day (around 4-5pm EST), meaning that might be database synch time.

What time frame does the Board state on the website? Even with a stated time frame, there can be delays for various reasons, including workload. Good luck.

I took my exam on 7/3 and got my NCLEX results from Pearson about 5 days after I took the test. I finally got my license in the mail today and when I checked my number was on the BON website (the last time I checked that was Tuesday I think?). So it took almost two weeks to come up, while my friend said hers showed up after about 5 days. So I guess it just depends...

I called the NY BON and they told me that it takes between 1-2 weeks before it gets on the website. I tested on Jul 1 and it posted on the NY BON website Jul 13. Another of my friends took it on Jul 1, 2010 as well and their license was posted Jul 8, 2010. So it's a matter of them getting your files together and entering and putting a license number on your registration. Hope that helps. You should get a letter with your photo from the NY BON 4-5 days later that says you passed but not the official license certificate, number, and diploma. Don't worry, if Pearson Vue told you that you PASSED, you are an RN, just unofficial but will OFFICIAL within 1-2 weeks from the NY BON.

hi fellow nurses,, can someone tell me how to go about finding out how to get onto the bon website in ny, and what am i actually cicking on to... thank uuuuuuu.

ems - you can check your number, if it's up, here. Scroll down in the list of professions to your type (RN or LPN) and click on the profession to highlight it. Then enter your last name and first name in the search box (with NO comma, just a space between them), and click the search button. If it's in the system, it'll come up.

I passed my boards on 9/6/2016 and still don't have a license number listed with New York BON. I'm starting to get worried!
