ER: Go to the emergency room or your doctor's office and get your hand x-rayed. How long it takes to heal will depend on the x-ray findings - typically 6 to 8 weeks.

Finger injury: A jammed finger can be a fracture. Get it x-rayed and if normal the finger is sprained and will heal. Can't tell without the x-ray.
