When will I get the actual licence???

Published

Just wondering how long it takes to get it in the mail? I am assuming you get somthing right????? I am totally clueless. How does the hospital know you are an RN.....LOL Just excuse my ignorance, i am still residing on cloud 9!!!!

Amy-

You'll get your license in the mail from the BON.

As for the hospital- they check with the BON to see that you are a RN. After you get your license they will request a copy of it.

Congrats on passing :)

thanks for the info I was just wondering how long it would take for it to get here in the mail too?

Specializes in ER.

The info I have says that Ohio will send the licence in 7-10 days.

Specializes in Nephrology, Cardiology, ER, ICU.

In IL nowadays, the RN gets a license and pocket card but your employer just goes online to confirm licensure.

Yeah, around here the employers just verify on-line also.

That's great to hear! My school has held things up quite a bit (graduated FOUR weeks ago and they STILL have not sent certificate of completeion to board...so still no ATT).

At least I know once they get my paperwork, things should move pretty quickly.

It all depends on how fast your school works to get your paperwork in. I have known poeple who got an ATT within days after graduation....then there's me and my four weeks...still waiting.
