you shouldn't avail of the services of that NCLEX application center. Some fellow nurses here in our country wanting to take up the NCLEX availed the services of an application center, and unfortunately encountered some problems.
anyway, dont believe what the application center says, come exam date its you who's gonna be on that test center and not them.
Its explicitly written on pearsonvue nclex website or the manual that ncsbn mailed to you that the name that appears on your ATT should match EXACTLY the name on your passport. With what your saying now, I think it would be best if you call your Board of nursing to verify this.
keep us posted

@lorodz
how would i call my board of nursing?
tnx
visit their website and look for the landline number. You have to make a long distance call though.
I had a problem with my name too and i called my BON to clarify everything. And everything is ok now.
