Hi all! I took my NCLEX Monday and received my quick results today (pass!!). My question is, since these results are considered "unofficial", am I allowed to start training at my work until I get my official results? The training is pretty much videos and paperwork, along with observation, until the official results come in. Is this all okay?

How long does it take in your state for you to be able to see your license number online? I feel like once you have that, you should be good. I've had friends who could view theirs between 1-5 days after taking the exam and passing.

It depends on the facility's policy.
I'm not sure how long it will take - I think right now the system is backed up. I know the official letter comes within about a week, but my facility wanted to get me started on training now. The training is six weeks, so I won't be on my own for awhile. And they don't allow you to be on your own until you have your license in hand.
