    emy912 replied to handyman's topic in NCLEX

    You pay $200 just to take the test and once you pass, you will have to pay $120 for the actual license. I went up to Sacramento, paid my $120 in person and was issued a temporary license. One week later, my name and license was on the website.

    emy912 replied to kaydrian's topic in LPN/LVN

15. Who's still on the NCLEX-PN results waitlist?

    emy912 replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hang in there pixie! I got my results 4 weeks from the day I took the test and I really think the wait is harder than taking the test. You should be getting the result this week so the wait is almost over.
