Processing time for WI temporary license

Published

I was wondering if anyone who has recently applied for and received a Wisconsin temporary license could tell me how long it took to receive? I did a quick search of the forum, and it doesn't look like this has been discussed before. Thanks!

I'm answering my own question, in case it will help someone else: it took exactly four weeks from the date that I mailed my application.

here is the website that will get you started:

if you know that you want to work in wisconsin instead of illinois, then you should initially apply for your wisconsin license when you register to take the nclex (clc will only review the process for the illinois application, but the nursing office can help you with wisconsin). this would allow you to work as a graduate nurse in wisconsin while waiting to take the exam or pending your results. illinois does not allow this.

i applied for license by endorsement (in other words, i already had my illinois license), so i am unsure of the exact steps required to apply by examination. regardless of which route you take, you'll need clc to send verification of graduation to wisconsin in order to get a license.
