You can go to the California board of registered nurses website and click on the "verification of permanent license" tab. next enter your name, the state in which you took the test and the state for which you are seeking licensure. Do this after 2 full days after sitting the exam, so if you took it today (Tuesday) you would check this on Friday. If you passed your name will come up as a RN with your new license number. These are obviously unofficial until you receive confirmation in the mail but worth doing to help get thru the Long wait. Good Luck, I was in the same position as you last week so know how you feel. :)
