Initial CRNP License in Pennsylvania

[ghillbert]

I am graduating end of April from my ACNP program and trying to work out a best/worst case scenario for when I'll be able to start an NP job. Does anyone have recent experience with how long it took to receive their national certification number from AACN? Or from ANCC for that matter, I guess - I don't much mind which board exam I take.

What about how long it took to receive your CRNP license number from the State Board of Nursing (PA) once you sent in your application??

Thanks!

Hi, ghillbert, I saw this thread while searching for NP H1b info. I am F1B in adult/geri NP program in Pennsylvania, and planning to graduate in May (or August) 2015. I have the option of taking one last elective in summer 2015 so that I will have more time to prepare for the board. I feel uneasy with the timeline because once I graduate, I only have so many days (60? 90?) to apply for the test, and actually have to pass it the first try. Your timeline restored my faith. Thank you!
