Online rescheduling of NCLEX didn't work!!! I'm in no-show hell

by rebe

So I found out yesterday that I am in a bit of a pickle...I registered a month ago, changed the date to a week later (as I was taking a Kaplan course and wanted time to review after it) and the computer screen said something along the lines of "your new test date is ---- at ---- location". But I didn't know that I did not get the confirmation email stating me new NCLEX date. I was looking up the test center directions yesterday and saw a "no show" under my appointment. I paid the $200 schedule again, but then read the fine print that no-shows ATT's are invalidated and have to obtain new ones! After bawling my eyes out I see that I can't do anything about it until Monday (why is a huge company like Pearson Vue not have a single representative in the entire US available on the weekends??!! This seems irresponsible on their end). I feel like such an idiot after being such a studious nursing student and checking everything twice, now I might not get my job (orientation is in a week) because I don't have an ATT, which means that I cannot sign up to take the NCLEX or even see which dates are available near me (when I "rescheduled" two weeks ago dates are at least a week out at my closest site).

Has anyone else had this happen? It seems like it should be my fault, but I was not sleep deprived when I changed the date and all I can think of is that my internet temporarily went off and the last little bit that was needed to tell Pearson to change the date didn't go through.

It sounds like you tried to reschedule for earlier. Am I correct? When you say letter is that the same as the email I received with the ATT word doc attachment? Your case sounds curious just like mine. I am glad yours worked out well!

I had a similar thing happen to me but dont worry so much. I talked to my orientation director and told her the situation, she said she had seen this come up many times and allowed me more time to get the ATT to her. Stay calm and enjoy your after-graduation celebration!
