Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

[quote=luvmyguys;3769025]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??

that doesnt make any sense. how can we be pending on the site and they not have our apps processed? shouldnt they look at them first and make sure everything is good to go before they put us on as "pending"? i'm confused. now how much longer is that gonna take, another 2-3 months! This is beginning 2 be a little bit rediculous! As the thread says, "Ohio board of nursing SHOULD be ashamed!" I'm still waiting to come up as pending and i graduated 6-23! not pending, no ATT. and now this! GEEZZ. they better get with it cuz it sounds like they're getting alot of people really mad at em.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

I graduated June 12th and I am still pending. So much for the 7-10 business days too. Its crazy just sitting and waiting. I am going to call in the morning to see what the hold up is.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

Hi luvmyguys,
Like you I graduated June 12 and my name was listed as pending 10 days ago. I received my ATT yesterday and have a test date scheduled for 8/16. The situation is frustrating and I wish you the best of luck ~~ I bet you hear something soon!!

And do you think they really care about that??

Aren't bureaucracies wonderful? They can plod along at their own pace, not caring whether they serve their "customers" or not.

A number of folks in my new grad program in KY initially applied to the Ohio BON for licensure. After waiting...and waiting...and waiting, they applied to KY. Their KY stuff was processed in 6 days or so. Over a month later, some are FINALLY hearing back from Ohio. Pitiful, just pitiful!

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

I have been pending for 12 business days now-2 weeks and I can't get through to the OBN on the phone and they don't seem to respond to any emails. So I guess all I can do is keep waiting. :ban ghead:

uhh, no, obviously they don't care who the heck gets mad. looks like all they're doin over there is piddling their thumbs an takin their sweet ol time. WE WANT OUR ATT'S!

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

YEAHHH! Finally I'm pending. Everyone in my class is! Now lets see how long it takes for them to get us our ATT's. I'm just glad to at least be pending now.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

Please alert your elected state representatives and senators about the UNDERSTAFFED nursing licensure unit: how it prevents graduates from taking licensure exams, delay in staring accepted nursing position, and request to see if they can have discussion with nursing board, investigate issue and resolve staffing crisis.
Solving constituents issues with state government is reason Representatives exist.

Re: Ohio board of nursing should be ashamed

Thanks Karen, I will definitely do that! The OBON received my paperwork on 6/29. My name finally showed up on the board website on 8/12. Today is day #13 and still NO ATT or info saying my app was incomplete. I can't get through to the board because they don't even give the option to leave a message! I called Pearson Vue and they gave me the number for the National Office for the state BON's in Illinois. It is 1-312-525-3600. If I don't have my ATT Friday (tomorrow), I am calling this number on Monday. I may just go to Columbus myself on Monday so I can talk to a REAL person! The board has NO rhyme or reason to how they process these apps. Classmates who submitted paperwork in July had their name show up on the board website in less than 3 weeks! Others who sent their mail in my certified mail had students who sent their paperwork in 2 weeks later get their ATT first. This is ridiculous! How can the board not have known there would be so many applicants when we had to submit our fingerprints to the STATE for NURSING school? Hello!
