Yep I am right there with you! All of my paperwork was turned in by December 16. I am trying very hard not to call them but it's getting hard. I incessantly check the website 15-20 times a day- it says 'Pending receipt of background check'. I have nothing on my record so I don't know what the hold up is. I'm assuming i would have been notified if my prints didn't take or any paperwork was incomplete- I don't know but I am getting extremely frustrated!!
My background is also clean. Actually, I know my background check is complete because I called. :-P It was done almost 3 weeks ago! I have the same message on my acct. I am so frustrated! My paperwork was complete by Dec 16 also, and my app filed the first week of Dec. I guess it's good to know we're not alone in this? :'(

The AR board of nursing has been "processing" my application since the beginning of December. All materials were in from my prgoram by Dec 15. I called the board a few weeks ago and the result was the board staff yelling at me and admonishing me for calling, telling me to just keep checking my status online. Without their approval, I am obviously STILL waiting to get my ATT and be able to take NCLEX. I have a job I'm supposed to start in 2 weeks. I am so frustrated and feel powerless. Is there anyone out there who is in a similar situation? I don't know what to do next, short of driving to LR and showing up in person at the board to get answers.
