help with faster BONs

You can try New Mexico if you already have those things..........even Illinois.

But take into account that you are entering into a very busy time because of all of the nursing school graduates that will also be applying at this time.

So no place is going to be extremely fast.............. :rolleyes:

Thanks suzanne4 for the quick response, one more question is it going to be easy for me to endorse to florida, the thing is i have already applied in florida but it looks like they take quite some time to approve one to take the exam.

I applied to Florida and got my ATT from the BON 4 weeks after my CES report was issued. I think I would have got it sooner but my report got lost in transit and CGFNS had to send another copy. So I'm guessing Florida isn't very slow under normal circumstances. Just thinking if you might be as well to stick with them if that's where you want to be, save endorsing from another state later.

Thanks for the response Tina, i guess i will just wait for them then, my CES was submitted last week after it took almost 3 months for me to get it from Cgfns :rolleyes: , so i just thought that they were slow,Plus i had already taken a long time going over the CP only to realise that i did not need that for Florida BON.hopefully i will get lucky.....

If you encounter any problems with Florida BON I have contact details of a person who was very helpful to me. I have called her a few times when I've needed help or advice and she has always been true to her word and helped 'fix' a few problems I've had along the way. Not sure if we're allowed to give out names on this forum so PM me if you want any more info.

If you plan on working in Florida, I would just stick with them, so that you are not paying more in fees. Remember that you will not receive your ATT from them, but from Pearson-Vue after you pay your fee. I would just do this after you receive notification from FL BON that your credentials have been accepted. Once you receive the ATT, you have 90 days to take the exam.... :)

Correction to my above post. As Suzanne rightly states, the ATT comes from Pearson. I meant to say I got my eligibilty letter from the BON but once you have that, your ATT will follow just as soon as you register with Pearson and pay the $200. In my case, it was just a few days.
