Hi I hope you are all well. I attended school in Seattle, WA and graduated them moved to Chicago. Took my NCLEX at Chicago on 07/21 and passed "thank God" and I am due for Orientation on 08/20. I got my ATI pass letter a week later because it had to be forwarded to my Chicago address. So I sent the bottom portion of that letter, signed along with my $50 check and with a request for an address change on Monday 07/30. I then called on Thursday 08/09 and was told that it still hadn't posted yet and that it takes three weeks at least. I was wondering if you guys have a way of knowing, since my husband and I live on a one budget right now and if I don't start my job in August then I would have to wait to start all the way in December!! and all my other friends in WA have their RN license # posted within 3 days of them passing their NCLEX!! so any advise on how to speed up this process or who to contact to figure out how long this will take and if it is possible to have my license before 08/20? Thanks for all the help and replies.
