NY license posting wait time

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Does anyone know approximately how long it takes for NY to post RN license #s (whether it's <48 hrs)? I took my exam a few hours ago and 48 hours seems like a lifetime right now.

PVT was good but I'm cautious to trust it

Hi LNS95, I was curious to know if the state is going by date the licensing application was submitted. Some people are getting their licenses posted in NY at about two days after passing etc.. Would you mind sharing the date that you applied for your license? I applied on May 24th and the website says they are reviewing applications received 5/12/2020. Thanks in advance.

I thought about that too. I applied on May 4th for LPN. I don't know if your post refers to getting an RN license but either way, the processing might differ.

Hey, so the processing seems to be the same. I applied for RN license. For both licenses the website says 5/12. Maybe try sending a follow up to the state for application status?

I sent a "contact us form" but haven't heard from them yet. I also contacted my school what could be the problem but haven't heard from them either. All I know is, if ever I had a problem with school requirements they would have notified me before even being eligible to take the NCLEX. Oh well, I guess this is just a waiting game LOL

Yea it is definitely a delay on the NYSED's part. We will be waiting in this game together ?

Hi, I applied for my license back in March because our school instructed us to do that early on. It still took 2 weeks!

After a week (since I had no idea how long it was supposed to take) I called them. I know it says you can't ask about your status through the phone so I just called to make sure they had everything they needed for my license (no holds). They ended up just telling me my status anyway and saying they're just giving me a number and it'd be up by the next week. You can give that a try but I was on hold for a very long time.

Ohh, so going by the dates on their website is pointless. I am definitely going to give them a call now. Thank you for your help! Much appreciated!

Oh WOW!! I'll give them a call tomorrow then. I'd rather know my status so I can take action ahead of time rather than waiting and waiting and doing nothing about it LOL. I thought contacting them would even delay the process but we also have the right to know what's going on.

It says on their site that it can delay the process but I don't see why it would, it didn't for me as far as I know
