Any recent Texas Excelsior grads out there?

[chris_at_lucas_RN, RN]

Did you have any problem--i.e., long wait for the ATT--that seemed associated with graduation from Excelsior?

The school has been really cooperative and supportive, but the BNE seems to not be all that interested.

I was told Friday not to call the BNE until a month had passed--even though I know they have received my affidavit from the school.....

Any similar experiences, ideas, support, comiseration....

Chris I could be wrong but I really don't think that it's the Excelsior thing. It's the fingerprint cards thing. They just started it in TX last September so it's still fairly new for them to work all of the kinks out.

The new grads on my unit who went to other schools had the same difficulty.

I "met requirements for graduation" in mid-October 2003 when the affidavit was sent and I got my ATT letter in early December 2003. It was close to two months of waiting.

I know that this stage of the game is very tense and days seem like months, but it will come.

It always helped me when I would say to myself, "Well, at least I'm not still waiting to take the CPNE anymore."------ ANYTHING is better than that!!
