Be Advised:

  • NCLEX results will not be given in an email or over the phone by Board staff.

  • You may obtain unofficial NCLEX results within two business days after taking the exam through Pearson Vue's Quick Results Service; there is a fee for this service. Keep in mind, unofficial results do not authorize an applicant to practice as an RN or LPN.

  • After the Board receives your official results, your new license will typically be issued by 5:00 pm the next business day. You can verify the license on the Board's Verification website. If you passed, the verification website will show an active license. You will also recieve a packet in the mail with the license.

  • If you failed the exam, the verification website will not return any search results. The applicant will receive, in 5-7 business days, a letter with instructions on retaking the exam and a Candidate Performance Report.

An application is null one year ater received at the Board office. Fees are non-refundable.
