Does everyone that got an offer already have their license?

kanakele · Jun 18, 2011

I have my license already

Thanks Kristy. If I take the test on June 30 - I am assuming I wouldn't be able to print my license number until the end of the following week considering it's Fourth of July weekend. Do you know how long does it typically takes to verify if I passed or not?
Do you know when the start date of the program is?
It seems like it will take at least 2 weeks to process all our background checks. If they just sent out the applications tonight - they probably wouldn't even begin the process until Monday 6/20. Then they have to send offer letters out and give us a couple of days to get our health screening done. So bummed I am unable to take the test sooner but don't know if driving to SD is worth it, when it will only give me a few more days.

Hi BNice :)

I've been creeping on here too. I called HR the week before open house to clarify when we have to have our license by, because the email I received said by July 1st, but in my phone interview she said by the end of July. Since I already knew that it was doubtful I'd have my license before the 1st, I wanted to figure out if it was even worth going to the open house if I wasn't going to qualify anyway. I left a message for R.L. (I'm hoping initials are okay to use), and I received a call back the next day from someone in the office. I don't remember exactly what he said, and this was a couple of weeks ago, so things may have changed since then, but I believe he said there will be 3 cohorts with staggered starting dates (the dates he gave me were July 11, July 25, and Aug 15), and he said that if I was to be offered a position, but wouldn't have my license before the July 11th start date, that I could be placed into one of the later start dates. I think he said that I'd most likely be placed in the August group, I guess just to be safe. I clarified again by asking him then if I could basically ignore the July 1st date (or July 5th in some people's emails) and he said yes. I also asked if we needed to physically have the license in our hand by whatever start date and he said no, so I guess just having proof from the BRN's website (which I believe shows you your license number) is enough.

So BNice, I would say you should call HR just to verify that this is still okay (better to be safe than sorry), but not stress too much about trying to rush your test date. Remember too that people cancel their test dates all the time, so I bet that a better/more preferable test date and location will eventually become available. Just gotta stalk Pearson Vue's website a bit!

Hope this helps :)
