It's been two since I passed the exam and I haven't received my license yet. How long does it usually take? Thanks

Oct 5, 2016 Are you referring to a paper copy or just a license number in general? Many states have a website where you can look up someone's license, including your own, to see if it is active. Some states have discontinued issuing a physical license. I am not familiar with NY, so I have no idea whether or not they send out paper licenses.

AmmyRN 9 Posts Oct 5, 2016 Hey there. It has been 2 "what" since you tested? Days, weeks, months?I tested 9/13/16. I called a few days later. It takes two weeks. Day 15 I checked the Dept. of Education site and it was not posted, but it was posted on Nursys. Make sure you check both. Got my copy in the mail a week later. Hope this helps

Thanks for the replyI'm guessing it'll be up soon, but you can also call them. I tested on 9/20, called them this Monday (10/3), they looked me up and said that everything was in order and it should be up by the end of this week, then it posted on the website the next day (10/4).
