Just curious, 1,2,3 months after graduation? How long did it take your license to be sent?

I had a license number that could be verified on our states web site in less than 24 hours after Nclex. A class mate of mine had her lic number in less than 4 hours after taking Nclex. She left the test site at 9am and someone called her at 1:30 to congratulate her on passing. Her name and lic were already posted.

Took a few weeks to get the paper lic in the mail.

I took my boards on a Weds and received nursing pay on Thursday. All i had to do was print off my number and take down to HR.
