Hi, sorry about what happened to you. 2 questions for you: what State did u apply for? and next : Did you do anything in the past that may be reflected in your background check ? If yes, that may be the reason why you don't have your license yet EVEN you passed the nclex.

ohh okay...I am also from NJ. I passed my RN on DEC 30th. I received my license but after the holiday but until now i cant see my name on the website. They told me that they update the website at the begining of the month. But in your case if your file is on "disciplinary", you will wait 4 to 6 weeks. Quick advice: I dont know how far you live from Newark, NJ ...I will advice you to go to their office and ask questions and you may know the reasons because their customer service on the phone cant sometime give you the right answer. JUST AN IDEA BECAUSE they lost my initial application and my money orders. They were give me wrong information on the phone and find out another story when i went to the office.

Good luck!
