Credential Evaluation Services..ANYONE???

ATT stands for "Authorization to Test" and comes from the state where you are applying to for licensure. Once you have this letter is hand, then you contact Pearson-Vue. They have nothing to do with the ATT letter, this actually means that all of your credentials have been accepted by the state Board of Nursing, and that you are eligible for licensure in that state, pending passing of the NCLEX exam.

Again, do not sign up for the NCLEX exam until you have received the ATT letter as a foreign nurse, as you only have 90 days to complete the exam in once you have paid. If you do not receive your ATT letter by then from the state, you lose your $200.

Hope that this clears up any mis-communications....... :balloons:

Unless you are determined to work in California, and are aware that it will be at least two years before you have your green card, I wouldhighly recommend that you get your initial licensure somewhere else. They can take anywhere from four to 12 months for a foreign grad to get the ATT letter. They also will not grant you a hard license until you actually have a Social Security Number in hand. My recommendation is NY, same thing that I tell allof my students, and all of them have applied there. It is a littlemore expensive initially, but the time saved more than makes up for it.

Hope that this helps, please let me know if you have any more questions and I will try to answer them for you...............p.s. Are you required to complete the English exams? If so, I would get them out of the way while waiting....
