Quick results say pass, everyone has license number but me?

I know the feeling. Though I have not have been waiting as long as you, I'm getting frustrated that it's not up yet. I'm looking for jobs and it's not comforting to see it say "pending." Also not good for my sanity.

Best of luck. Sick of this crap.

It's even worse that my sister has had her number for nearly two weeks, especially since everything was filled out and sent out the same day as hers.

Did you submit your fingerprints/background at same time? Have you called the BoN ?

Yes everything was submitted the same time. I called them last Friday and they said they don't need any more information, that they are just waiting for the committee..

I am in the same situation ryt now i took my boards on july 1st and got my unofficial result on july 3rd. I called BON just now and the guy told me that its still waiting for the board's approval. It's almost 5 weeks now. All my requirements were completed before i took the nclex so i dunno whats holding it up... lemme know once u got urs. Tnx

July 3 is only 4 weeks.

Plus it was a federal holiday on the 4th.

It can take 6 weeks especially since all licenses are approved by committee. That's one reason NJ participates in quick results.

Thanks. I'll wait for couple weeks I guess before I call them again. I have a possible job offer waiting for me and I don't want to lose it because of the waiting process. It feels bad when I did everything I could to get my license early but still ends up waiting.

Ah, well, that's life. They told me my second kid, already more than 8 lbs estimated at 36 weeks, would surely be early. Thank god, I said, already being crowded in here and very, very ready to stop being pregnant. Alas, he was 9 lbs 13 oz at 5 days past his due date.

Moral of the story: Everything comes in its own due time, and there's no use fussing about it. You did the best you could, now it's out of your hands.

I dont mind waiting, Im just worried that they'll come back to me and say that I didnt pass. Is there any way they can say that? Even though the pearson quick results (the paid ones, not the Vue Trick) say Pass.

If you paid for quick results then that is the unofficial pass. Official pass comes from the state.

Congratulations

Oh....the committee. That means that you did not have a perfectly clean background check or you admitted to doing something wrong in the past. Honestly, I am not sure if they meet in August. I had a friend take the test 2 years ago the first week in aug and did not get her number until October. Be patient. It is worth the wait.
