Published

I know this might sound like a stupid question :) but I just got my found out today that I passed my NCLEX and have been wondering where you can see you license Number? I was trying to apply for a job and they were asking for my License number but idk what that is. Is it found only on the actual license?

Thank you,

On the board of nursing website for your state. Do a license look up.

Can't you click on your name? The state where I'm licensed shows your name, and if you click on it, it takes you to your license information.

I can't click on my name... I'm in licensed in Texas... It just shows my license type, where I reside, the date my license was issued etc. no license number or option to click on my name..

I'm in Texas and I just checked mine. When I typed in my name, it showed the information you just listed. However, if you check by last four numbers of your social and your birthdate, it does display the license number. It also has a link which takes you to a graphic of your license, which you can print for your records.

As a new nurse, you WILL receive an actual physical copy of your license from the BON. You won't get another when you renew it, so keep it for posterity. ;)
