Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

i just recently graduated 6-23. originally i was told by my school to wait for your number then pay our 200.00. now they are saying pay your 200.00 as soon as you can. which will then get you your att number quicker. the only problem with paying before you get your number is that if you are not approved by BON to test there is no refund. that would suck. i think i would rather wait for my number before payin but i also want to get my number and hurry up and test. this is craziness. i check the verification list every day and i'm not on yet. i just want this over and done with. i'm tired of breaking my back doing aide work for the past 14 yrs! tried callin BON and keep getting the dumb answering service. Leave a message and you get no return call! what the heck!

WoW! I didn't realize that there was no refund-they told us to go ahead and pay-great.......that WOULD be my luck at this point.....some of my classmates are starting to show up as pending and we graduated June 12th. So **maybe** it will be soon!!!

yeah, i talked to pearson vue myself and they told me that if OBON doesnt approve you to test and youve already paid you don't get a refund. after talking to my instructor again, she told me the same thing. thats why originally they told us to wait to get our ATT first then pay. you can go ahead an pay if you think there is nothing on your background check that will hold you up. but thats a chance you have to take i guess. sounds like you graduated not too long before i did and you said some of your classmates are starting to get their numbers so hopefully my class will start to get ours. I can't wait.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

But what the the odds you wont get approved? As long asyour record is clean and you graduate from an accreditated program it should not be an issue.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

Getting through to the board is a HUGE PITA most the time. I had to leave several frustrated messages before they called me back reguarding my lasped license this spring.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

All I can say is thank God I reapplied for my license the moment I received my reminder in the mail. I've heard many horror stories about the board of nursing being incredibly slow.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

I just wanted to stop in and see if anyone has got the ATT yet? I haven't. I called the OBN and they said that it could take 7-10 business days FROM when you see your name as pending to get the application processed. So, just bc you see your name, doesn't mean your application has been processed (I thought that it did ).

Also, the ATT comes from Pearson Vue after the OBN sends them your information that you are allowed to sit for the exam. I don't know how long that takes. Some people are getting them within days, others-like me-still waiting! Bummer.

So, anyone have there att??

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

had all of my paperwork in to the OBN by May 25th and was finally pending last monday... soo its been 7 business days and still NO ATT !!!!!! I have a few choice words for the OBN because this is getting crazy.... $200 paid for my paperwork to move half the speed of smell.... taking FOREVER!!!!

how long have other people been pending online until they got their ATT ???
