Hello,
I recently got accepted into a nursing program in Texas. I finished my fingerprinting for the Texas Board of Nursing, but I have not received my blue card. I was wanting to know how long it typically takes for someone to receive their blue card. I have confirmed my address is correct and everything.
Please advise.

It took me 2 and a half weeks to get my blue cards. They send 2 as well.
Thank you! I have been worrying like crazy

It took a month for mine to finally arrive. I ended up contacting my nursing school professors and Dean. I informed them I didn't have a change of address, legal trouble, etc that would cause it to be delayed. They just told me to upload it when I get it as my blue card didn't come in time for me to meet the deadline to upload it. I also called TBON, recorded a phone call where they said everything was clear and I just needed to wait for it to arrive as proof. However, IDK how the mailing system is working, but covid could be slowing down the process with TBON and the mailing system!
THANK YOU! Actually it has been a month since I sent my fingerprints and I've been trying to get in contact with the Texas BON but its seems like their phone lines are down ? I also send emails regarding my situation and no one has answered me yet ? it is just so frustrating! and thank you so much again for answering me!

Hi,
I was wondering if you received your blue card yet? And how long it took for you to receive it? I live in texas and cant get a hold of anyone due to phones been down.
I did received it! I think it took a month plus maybe a week to finally arrive!! The funny thing is that they answered my emails after my blue card arrived LOL. It was so stressfull!! What I recomend is that you send emails to the texas BON and to your school advisers

Hey! It took about month and almost 2 weeks for my blue card to get here! However, I suggest to call customer service and ask for an update. @Migs De Guia
