Is your permanent ID your license number?

Published

I recently passed NCLEX (yahooooooooooo!!!) and have a permanent ID with the State Board of Nursing (verify a license). Is your permanent ID your license number? Just trying to figure this thing out. Sorry, new nurse here. Thanks all, Cheers.

Can anyone tell me how long it took after passing the nclex for the BON to post their license number online? Also, when did the actual physical license arrive?

Thanks

I'm answering my own question for those in the same situation. I took my NCLEX on a friday and by tuesday of the next week my license number was up on the MI BON website. So, 4 (2 business days) later.

I'm in Michigan (will be taking the LPN boards in Summer 2011 and the RN in Summer 2012) and I'm so happy to hear that they're so quick in our state!

I hear all these horror stories about folks in some states having to wait 30+ days just to find out if they passed the NCLEX! Yikes! I'm much too much of a control freak to wait that long without knowing what was going on!
