Hi everyone I am getting ready to drop a few hundred dollars on this application and I just was hoping that someone who has gone through the process could answer a few questions. I have my fingerprint card, I have access to my schools and ready to transfer transcripts, and I am ready with the license verification off of nursys.
question 1:
after you finish your fingerprint card are you responsible to send it in, and if so does it simply get sent into the board of nursing?
question 2:
under the education history tab, I have some prerequisites that were done in a different college that I did not earn my nursing degree from, would you add them into the nursing history tab? I am aware that I have to send transcripts from the school where I did my prerequisites, but does it need to be noted on the application?
You can probably get the Live Scan done at any time throughout the process. I don't know for certain, but you probably can. As for transcripts, your school MUST send them, not you because they need to be official. I would send all three nursing school transcripts. You probably don't need the MSN one, but why not include it if it is an easy process (an electronic transcript for example) just to be sure.
As for using their transcript request form, I used it for my BSN transcript because the Registrar's office was adamant that I needed it for California. I also sent in about 6 other transcripts because I completed my prereqs at a variety of schools and all transcripts were required. I didn't use a transcript request form for any of them and it didn't affect me in the slightest.
I would use that transcript request form just in case. It didn't affect my application but I could have just had a generous and forgiving person processing my app. The electronic transcripts almost always have a button to upload any necessary forms. You can upload it there and they will use it when sending out your transcript.
This can't really be it can it?! It's only been a little over 3 weeks since I applied online and I barely got my livescan done a few days ago?! I just checked Breeze website and a license # showed up so I went to Nursys and it's there! It says they're still processing apps from Feb 1-15, is this official?
