Take it before you go on your vacation....do not prolong it. You are going to be in that vacation mode upon returning and then you have to several more weeks just to review again. But like what Reno1978 said, you have to wait for your ATT notice. Good luck.

That's cool! They must not require the transcript to release your ATT. They'll definitely require it before issuing you a license, though, if they require that for licensure.

I hope you clear up the misspelling of your name quickly though! Make sure you didn't type it wrong on PearsonVue's site.

I remember my instructors telling us to take the board ASAP. The longer you wait the more you forget. Why would you wait? The longer you wait, the longer it will take you to get a job. Then you have to explain to employers why it took you so long to get your license. Some of them are probably going to suspect you are lying to cover up that you flunked the NCLEX on your first try. That's something I wouldn't want to deal with because it will restrict the types of jobs you can get.

Op, hope they fix the mistake. Just as a heads up, you can work before you pass the boards if your state gives GN licenses. Typically, you're given 90 days to pass the boards-if you fail, then you can't continue working as a GN though.

I worked with many a nurse who didn't pass the first time and I wasn't given any special notice because I passed the first time..all they care about is that license. I'd do this on a timetable you are comfortable with.

I waited so long because my school was slow in getting paperwork out, and I felt pretty good about the test(I'm an excellent test taker)so I saw no need to rush it.
