How long did you have to wait to take Nclex-PN

Published

Hello everyone. I graduated from my LPN program on December 9th. I live in Kentucky. I have completed my application to the board or nursing for a nursing license, I have completed both background checks required, registered to take nclex, and taken and passed the Kentucky jurisprudence exam to get my provisional license. I'm waiting on the school to complete their part of the paperwork for the bon. The wait is driving me up the wall. About how long did you have to wait after graduation to take the nclex-pn? Thanks.

I recieved my ATT almost a month after graduation because the PA SBON couldnt verify my name and birthdate. Some people in my class got theirs 1 week after graduation, 2 weeks, etc so it could vary from state and person.

I completed the LPN program on October 14, 2005...

I received my authorization to test (ATT) on November 21, 2005...

I took the NCLEX-PN on December 28, 2005...

So a total of 10 weeks elapsed between graduation and my NCLEX-PN testing date. I tested for the California BVNPT.

I'm in CA. I graduated on Nov 1 and received letter from board saying I can test (Not the ATT) on Dec 4. When I asked pearsonvue about test dates, they said I can pay immediately by credit card and schedule immediately, so I did. I tested Dec 16 (today).

I finished my program 2/25/12, and tested 4/13/12 (Friday the 13th!!). I heard one of my professors say that the student has a greater chance of passing the nclex if they take it within 12 weeks of completion.
