Hello I just recently passed my rn boards, found out Saturday. I live in Michigan, and for some reason my license is not on the BON website. I actually didnt pass the first time, and I graduated nursing school a year ago, December 2009. I am just wondering if everything expired, and thats the reason, or if its just taking awhile. I know this time of year lots of people are taking their boards if there december grads. It said pass as my status on quick review results on Pearson Vue, and they said that is will be sent to be in 4 weeks,but im trying to apply for jobs, and Ineed my license number. Let me know if you guys have heard of it taking awhile in Michigan.

Thank YOu

I don't know specifically about Michigan but it took about 4 business days for my license to be listed online in Massachusetts. I would give it a few days and if you still don't see it up, call the BON and make sure that your application materials have all been received and all the documentation is complete.

It took almost a week for mine to show up on the website. Give it another day or two. Congrats :)!

I cannot confirm this, as it is simply something I read here on this forum, however I have heard also that random people are sometimes selected to have their test further reviewed. I would assume it is some sort of process either to make sure people haven't found a way to cheat, or to make sure that the scoring program is working as designed. In those cases I have heard it take a couple weeks for a license number to appear on the BON site. Again, this is all secondhand information, so I don't know how reliable it is...

Hope things work out for you!
