I received my license in the mail approximately 2.5 weeks after taking my exam.

Not all states send out physical paper/plastic licenses any more -- you might not be getting one. The trend is for states to go entirely "paperless" and do all the licensure electronically. If you mentioned what state you're in, you might be able to get a more specific response.

I know here in Ga they dont send you a hard copy BUT if you go to the Bon website there is an option to print it offline

I live in CA. They are taking forever.

Affroman....when did u graduate? Or when did you turn your app in? I ask because I'm in Ca too and set to graduate in a few weeks. I assume you're waiting for your test date. I have heard estimates of as long as 6 months and as short as 4. Thanks!

Actually I'm done with everything, just waiting for my license. It takes about 2.5 months , after the board receives ur application, to get ur package. Once u do, u can register on Pearson and take ur test as early as the next day if u want and if dates are available. Then it takes about 4 weeks to get ur results. once u pass, then u sign that paper and send it along with another $150 back to the board. Then u have to wait 4-6 weeks for ur name to show up on the web.

I received mine the end of the week. I saw my name posted on bvnpt on Tuesday.. received my actually license on Friday.

Be patient. Nursing grads take the boards in clumps and so the state BON gets inundated with results and they get back logged.
