How soon after Graduation did you take the NCLEX?

I know it differs for everyone, but i was hoping to see what the timeframe was for most people (graduation/apply to BON/receive ATT/take exam).

Thank you!! :)

I graduated from nursing school on Dec. 16. My school sent all of my application forms, including my transcript, to the Board on Jan. 11. Received my ATT on Feb. 2, and took (and passed) NCLEX on Feb. 26.

I took it a couple of months after graduation because I knew my school would be really slow in getting our records to the board and I wouldn't get my results and license for a couple of months anyway.

So, I figured that instead taking it early and waiting for weeks to get my test results ... I'd use that time to study instead.

I finished classes 12/06, graduated 1/26/07 and tested 2/20/07---received results of passing 2/22/07!

Some of the people I graduated with still haven't tested, but I think the sooner the better. :-)
