Totally depends on your school. In my program, everything was submitted the day before pinning.

In our program, the problem was with the state board of nursing, not with the school. It takes about 8-10 weeks for people to get their Authorization To Test in my program.

Thank you both. I do realize that it depends on the school. Mine is in Ohio and I am aware of schools who's grads can test within a week or two while our grads have to wait an average of 2.5 months. Looking for comparisons before I start inquiring as to why .

Ours submitted it the next week. Took the BON another three weeks to process them.

December grads are generally delayed because so many people take vacation for holidays. At my facility we get ATT's from students 2-4 weeks after May graduation and up to 6 weeks after December graduation.
