initial LVN license

I did my resume the second i got the good pop up, i took it on 4/23 still awaiting the official results by mail. Im already working at an urgent care as a Medical assistant but i prefer a nursing job.

You should be applying right away. Any facility that wants to hire you will check your license online first. It takes up to 6 weeks to get the hard copy. Congrats! :)

I took my test at the end of March, and I think almost exactly 4 weeks later I got the online results, and got the license in the mail maybe a week later. I started applying right as soon as I got the pop up (Pearson test) and I actually happened to get hired 3 days after my license info was posted online. I'm not sure if you actually need the license or just the pass letter to work, I hear different things from different people. I would definitely start applying though.

Congratulations!!! You are officially a nurse.

Let us know when your name shows on the website, i'm right behind you in the process. I got my letter 5/13 and sent the money the same day just waitng for my name to pop up and get my license in the mail.

I took my nclex-pn on feb 3rd

Official results came in the mail 2 wks later, to the day

I sent my $ to BVNPT immediately, and

Received my official license on march 1st

Start looking for a job now!

what pop up are you talking about?

I took my Nclex-PN May 23rd and the system would not let me register- when will i actually get a License number on the state board? if you have not paid will you get a number on the state boards website?

I took my NCLEX 4/10 got my official results in the mail 4/26 sent my payment the same day. I called the board last Wednesday and they said that they were barely processing checks from 4/14. They said that it will probably take at least another 2 weeks to get to my check and another 4 weeks after they process the check to get my license number. They said they are short staffed and really behind. My check still hasn't been cashed.

I live in California and know it's a struggle to be so patient after working so hard for your license. I took my test February 5th, found out I passed march 8th, and JUST received my license a little over a week ago. I too was worried after 3 weeks with my check not cashing. But for me i noticed my check cashed around the middle of april and it still took a few weeks after that for me to receive my actual license. I have no convictions,DUI, or even a speeding ticket!! Just try not to worry, it will come :)
