So I have been waiting this month for my ATT! I called state boards and they kept telling me they have not received my completion letter from EC. So I phone Excelsior and they insisted that they sent my information. So then they gave me a UPS tracking code. I looked it up... and low and behold they did send me completion letter. I applied for State of Minnesota, however; they sent my completion letter to Missouri!!!! So now I have lost sleep and can't wait for the phones to open so I can call this morning. I'm so upset, I know it was an honest mistake but my entire life is on hold. I just want to take my board and now... who knows how long I have to wait... another month!!!
Has this happened to anyone else?

Wow.. Sorry to hear that. But MN is super fast, it should help a little :)
BTW, If I remember right, you are from FL? Then I heard that you can apply for FL license directly to FL BON now, they have changed the requirements and they are accepting EC now with no problems.
Good luck!
So, I just got of the phone with Excelsior. They are sending it out today and should hopefully arrive on Tuesday. Of all the times I wish Monday was not a holiday.
I hear that MN is fast; that's one reason why I chose to apply there. Either way I have to endorse into Florida!
but i am definently feeling much better!!!!
Oh, I had already applied to MN prior to that being passed to sit for Florida. I would of been out 100. And I had already applied by endorsement to FL. Tired of giving people money at this point. And.. tired of doing anymore paperwork.
I am ready to schedule. so if MN is as fast as everyone says they are, i could still test this month!
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Sounds like something is telling you to head for Missouri! Glad this is getting straightened out.

It happened to me. I graduated from school in Dec '09 in Michigan. I was taking NCLEX for Connecticut though. I filled out all the appropriate paperwork at my school, confirmed with several people that my paperwork would be sent to the CT BON, graduated and waited. And waited. Finally, after waiting for 3 months I started calling around. My school sent my paperwork to Michigan. After I got it all straightened out I got my ATT a week about a week later.
It was obnoxious, to say the least. To make it worse, the people that I spoke to at my school didn't seem to understand the problem, in one sentence they would insist that they could only send paperwork to Michigan, but then in th enext sentence they would tell me that I had to fill out paperwork for my paperwork to go to a diff state BON (which I did). Then they would go back to insisting that they only sent paperwork to Michigan. It was an endless circle. I ended up having to take care of it all myself.
I am just praying and hoping that once Minnesota gets the completion form that it gets done next week. I know it may high hopes but I am running very low on my patience meter!!!
