Passed NCLEX...Waiting for license #

[BethStarRN]

How long does it usually take for MBON to put up your license # after you pass the NCLEX?? I passed a week ago and still don't have a license number. It says my background check is still pending but I got my background check done months ago and they wouldnt have let me take the NCLEX if they didn't already have that right?? I'm so confused and my (hopefully) future place of employment needs my #. Is anyone else experiencing this??

The MBON needs to be audited and held accountable for their lack of professionalism. Hard-working productive citizens do all that is required of them in order to work in the healthcare profession; yet the MBON can't seem to do their part and process applications, etc. in a timely manner. They are messing with peoples livelyhoods and careers. The news media or protesting may help the state take action and resolve the MBON issues.

I got mine a day after I took it. So I guess it's different for everyone and probably depends on the volume. I did have issues with them for my CNA a while back though.

It took a month for mine to get posted and I have no criminal record. Hang in there

Anyone know how long it takes for the license renewal to show up on the website?

Depends.. I find that if you wait until your license is close to the expiration date, it takes them a couple of business days to show it as being "renewed". But your license will still be listed as "active".
