NCSBN Pass Letter

Published

Good day

I would just like to inquire if any from you here knows how to obtain a pass letter from the NCSBN? My friend had passed the NCLEX way back March 2010 and was being asked for this NCSBN pass letter. I've tried searching for instructions on the website but I just couldn't find it. Tried to Google it as well but to no avail.

I would really appreciate some help. Thank you!

NCSBN does not send anything. The pass or fail is sent from the state board of nursing. How quickly depends on the state. Sometimes the license is posted online before the letter is received. Others it's 4-6 week wait for license and pass letter

If you passed in 2010 you need to contact the state BoN for proof of passing NCLEX. There is often a fee

Hi! I would like to express my predicament regarding the NCSBN pass letter. I took the NCLEX exam last Jan. 2008, however, I was not able to request for a pass letter because i thought that the letter from the state with the information that I passed the NCLEX and that they are asking for an SSN is already enough. It is only recently, that I realized that an NCSBN pass letter is important when applying for a job abroad. May I know if I can still request for an NCSBN pass letter now? and how am I going to request for one? thank you.

It's the state board of nursing that issues the pass/fail letters. The ncsbn won't/doesn't issue anything as you already received the pass letter from the state BoN.

Depends on the state. For example, in CA no because if you haven't practiced as a nurse you would have to retake the NCLEX after 8 years. If you never were licensed post nclex after 8 years it may no longer be valid
