Should I get a temporary LVN License. I was told that unless the number shows on the BON website, we can't work anyway. I live in Sacramento, CA. I paid for my license yesterday. Should I get one....When will my license come in? Does any 2015 test takers have some input? Thanks.

You may be able to obtain your actual license in person though

mlpr 10 Posts Jan 27, 2016 I passed December 2015 and obtained my temporary license 2 weeks ago from BVNPT- just got hired the other day! I just showed them my temporary license. The temp license came with the date you got it and the expiration date, usually around 3 months. It will also state there that you are free to practice your license.
pipoy05 3 Posts Jul 5, 2017 Hi there. I have a question. If you were to go to the office for the temporary license, do you need to get an appointment or you can just walk in and request it? Please i needym your help.
mrsmonteon 31 Posts Oct 4, 2018 You can just walk in. I would go first thing in the morning. There is literally only a handful of people in the office that's why it's so slow.
