Apr 27, 2010 I remember how frustrating that was ... especially since the only thing between me and a 45% pay raise (yes, 45%!) was my ATT and something from the Virginia BON that said that I could practice as an RN Applicant (pre-NCLEX). Once EC got me processed, there was only about 8 days between transcripts being sent out and receiving the ATT. There is a way to request expedited transcript mailing; I think it costs $11 or $12, and they'll send them UPS to your BON. After all the other $$$, what's a measly $11/12, right? If you'd like, I can send you the request letter and explain how that's done. Just shoot me a PM with your email.

erinp88 482 Posts Apr 28, 2010 I'm right there with you Lisa!! I tested March 12th and I think they updated my status April 16th. I paid them on the 20th. I received notification that "State Board Documents have been sent." I'm not sure if that's my official transcript or not and am too exhausted to call them anymore. I requested to have a "Letter of completion" sent to my state board as well. They probably won't accept it, but figured why not have it sent anyways? I don't officially graduate until May 21 and I think that's when the official transcripts are released! In the mean time, my BON application is sitting on a supervisor's desk because I was 'let go' from a job after working there for 4 days in 2003. And I was basically let go because they had several RN applicants after they had extended a job offer to me! Crazy/long story, but could anything else road block me? I get a $8 pay raise once I take that stupid NCLEX!! Do you think I could get motivated to study for it? NOPE! Not until I can set a date because that's how my brain operates.
pielęgniarka, RN 490 Posts Specializes in Hem/Onc, LTC, AL, Homecare, Mgmt, Psych. Apr 28, 2010 I passed my CPNE in November around Thanksgiving. Then there's Christmas and then New Years in between me & my graduation. My grad date wasn't until mid January! It was EXCRUCIATING to wait I was constantly calling EC and they did get it processed as quick as they could. I'm sympathetic to your plight!
erinp88 482 Posts Apr 28, 2010 Ok, after reading the graduation packet today. Yes, the one I've had for about 1 week now. It clearly states that you must request to have your transcripts held until conferral date if this is what your state requires!! It doesn't matter, since I requested my transcript to be sent prior to even receiving the packet. Then I was checking my application status on the State of Michigan website (as I do multiple times each day) and that clearly states the transcript must have the conferral date on it. Why can't anything be easy?

erinp88 482 Posts Apr 28, 2010 Was that an official copy of the transcript? They sent me a copy in my grad packet, but nothing about a conferral date.
caliotter3 38,333 Posts Apr 28, 2010 Just think, once you get all of this sorted out and done with, no more waiting on EC to do anything for you, at least for awhile. Good luck.

Mine has "conferred: 08/15/2008" toward the top right side, underneath where it shows that I was enrolled in the ADN program.
