New NY RN license

Published

Hi guys, I passed NCLEX on December 22nd of last year (2011). And up until now, I haven't received my license by mail and I still can't search my name online via NY Office of Professional Online Verification. It has been more than a month now and I'm just getting anxious that there might be a problem and for some reason I can't contact NY Nursing right now. How long does it usually take for you to receive your license after passing the exam?

I passed the NCLEX on January 27th. I got my license and registration in the mail today. My name was on the NYS BON website on the 31st. You should really give them a call to see what's holding up your license .....

Wow. Good for you. And congrats too. I don't know what's holding them. Is there any way to look it up online? Or would contacting them be my only choice? I was trying to call them yesterday but there was no answer. And today of course their office is closed. I'll have to try again by Monday then. I did send them an e-mail about my situation though.
