In South Dakota, nursing staff and employers can use multiple platforms to find and verify nurse licensure and disciplinary actions online.
Exam Applicant Verification Information
After the Board receives the official results of the NCLEX, the results will typically be posted by 5:00pm the next business day and can be verified online.
The SDBON license verification website will:
- Show an active license if the applicant has passed the NCLEX.
- Within 5-7 business days the new licensee will receive a packet in the mail from the Board with the original SD nursing license and a courtesy renewal card. Or,
- Not return any search results if the applicant failed.
- Within 5-7 business days the applicant will receive a letter in the mail from the Board with instructions on retaking the NCLEX exam and a Candidate Performance Report.
