When you said GN did you mean Graduate Nurse? (sorry I don't know :). Anyway, my experience was as a Registered Nurse back in our country using my local nursing license.

The reason why I didn't test in Texas is because I can't meet their requirements. I graduated nursing 2007 and only had 5 months nursing experience. From what I know one must have at least one year exp if graduated more than one or two years ago and there's no way for me to have nursing exp if I don't have a nursing license. So I tried Illinois.. I was just worried if Illinois BON will grant me a license if my address is Texas..but I did send back the letter and money order day after I got the letter from them. I'll just wait and see what's gonna happen next. I read from one thread here in allnurses that it took them 2 weeks to finally see their license number from the day they send back the official pass letter.. So there..we'll see if mine's gonna be the same timeline as theirs.. ?

Congrats y'all

I passed my NCLEX-RN for Illinois a week ago but I currently live in Texas. I saw Texas online endorsement and in order to do that, I need a license number but I don't have it yet. I just got the candidate report letter today and it's asking me to send them back the letter with the $50 money order or check. I'm planning to send the letter with the amount tomorrow but I am thinking if they are gonna give me a license number if my address is in Texas. I would like to know if I will be doing the right thing (without wasting time, cause I need my Texas temporary license ASAP) which is sending this letter to Illinois to get my license number and then afterwards move to online endorsement for Texas.. I need yer help, guysss... Thank you..

Oh okay 48 hours.. Thank you much!!

Do you guys know how to check license number in Illinois?

LOL @Lucasaurus..

But it won't be available until after 48 hours, aint it?

Do you know when to check your name on the bon website for license verification?

Which state did you take your NCLEX for

I just noticed there's no recent posts about those who got the good pop-up.. Is it still accurate??

My NCLEX application in Cali got denied for the same reason as yours.. So, I tried another state which is Illinois and I finally got an eligibility and ATT.. My suggestion is that you search for the requirements of other states and see which one will be easier for you to comply.. Taking the exam in the Philippines won't make a difference for the requirements will still be the same..

Whooohooooo!! Congrats, USRN!!

I mean alc143.. geez!

How's you're exam, @alc123?
