Not dialated...how long does induction last?

Got my cervix checked this morning (ouch!) and not dialated, but being induced next Tuesday for medical reasons. Wondering how long I can expect induction to last, assuming I'm still not dialated when they begin the process. Has anybody been induced when their cervix wasn't ripe, and if so, how long did it take for the baby to come?

It sounds like for most people so far at least it was less than 24 hours...
