Question on NYC license

Does anyone know how long it takes the Board of Nursing to verify the licensing requirements? I sent mine in about 2 months ago, is there anyone I can talk to or go somewhere on the net, thanks.

where did you attend school? in ny? are you a new grad?

if in the us, they need to wait for a full set of transcripts from your nursing school, and if from out of the country, then you need to go thru cgfns.

can you be much more specific? and welcome to allnurses.com. :balloons:

That is what is holding you up, getting something from outside the main 50 states.

You can figure that it will take you a minimum of three months for everything to be straightened out, if PR sends the documents in a timely fashion.

Good luck............. :)

Can you believe that? I am a new grad, that just recently passed NCLEX. I was offered a position straight to ICU at one of the hospitals in the NYU/Mt Sinai network in April, pending finishing nursing school and passing the boards. (Nothing in writing, of course) I went to take the NLN pharmacology exam at the hospital. Upon arrival I was met by the nurse recruiter that had offered me the position. She had me fill out paperwork, references, W4, self assessment skills checklist etc. While I was filling out paperwork she said that the nurse manager of the unit wanted me to work some med/surg for "a couple months." I was a little dumbfounded but agreed verbally. I was then asked if I was expecting to start soon since I passed the boards to which I replied "YES!" The recruiter then told me that the other new grads weren't taking boards until August, so she would have to check and see if it would be possible to get me going. A little miffed by this request, I questioningly agreed. I took the NLN pharm exam and passed. Upon leaving I still have recieved nothing in writing that I even have a job. Does anyone have any helpful thoughts????? Thanks in advance.
