Well, you can try to look up if you've been issued a license:
CA BRN license: Board of Registered Nursing
CA BVNPT license: Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians
On either site, select "Online Verification".
Keep in mind that they only update it during weekdays. I also don't know how long it takes between you passing the NCLEX and your being licensed and listed on either site. It may be a few hours...or a few weeks.
Hang in there!
I took the NCLEX-RN for California in February and 2 days later my name was on the Board of Registered Nursing website. You can check the license verification, if your name is there then you passed :). Here is the link: http://www.rn.ca.gov/online_services/perm-verif.shtml
If it takes longer than 2 days for your name to show up do not panic, I hear the wait time varies. You receive the paper notification and your license card in the mail after a couple weeks (but I think that part can take up to 4 weeks, especially right after May graduation when the largest number of people take the exam).

Does anyone know how fast you get your nclex results after you take it? Is there a way to look online at the California BON?
