License number available date

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I passed Nclex RN as of 7/3 - I let my lpn license expire on 6/30. Should I renew it... I didn't want to blow the $60, but I called and the BON said 2-30 days... My classmates received their numbers the day after they tested. How long did it take for you to get your actual license number? Thanks.

Took NCLEX on a Friday and had license number by Monday. But, it varies from state to state and person to person. Someone else I graduated with didn't have their license # until 3 days after taking boards. It just varies.

Renewing your LPN license is up to you of course but I doubt it would take longer than a month to receive your new RN license so it might be worth the wait rather than spending the $. Also, you had the holiday weekend in there so that could be another reason it is taking a little longer.

Had my license # 10 hours after the quick results posted. Like it has been said above it varies from person to person, state to state. Some in my class had to wait 1 week or more for their license #'s.

How are you working as an LPN with an expired license? I also am an LPN whose license needed to be renewed in May (took the boards a few days ago) I didn't want to renew and "blow" the money on it , but I can't work without the license. Besides I think if you let the license lapse it costs more money after

I never said I was working... I was studying for my boards from the 30th until the 3rd... I'm working this Saturday... I have my license now... I was wondering if I should pay since I didn't have it as of two days ago, but I'm cool now..

Ohh ok I was confused .. Your lucky because in NJ we have to wait a few weeks for our license numbers. Mine expired may 30th so I had to renew because I had no idea when I was going to get my ATT. Congrats !
