NCLEX wait time in California??

gradnursechicago, BSN, RN · Jun 2, 2020

I don't know about California, because I am from Missouri but I can check the locations for you. For me, I received my ATT the day that IL reopened (June 1). Dates were very few and far inbetween. Within 300 miles of me, I had an option of taking it today, June 3, 5, or 29th or wait until September. However, today I went on and there were TONS more dates available. I can check your surrounding area for you if you give me a city to look at, but I think you will be fine! You can always take it in another state. I was going to have to take it in Iowa City, Iowa until more dates opened today!

Fresno, CA- June 5, 19, 20

Visalia, CA- June 6, 19,20

Santa Maria, CA- June 4,5, 19,20

Milpitas, CA- June 3,5,6,13,19,20

Sacramento, CA- June 5,19,20,30

San Mateo, CA- June 3,4,11,13,16,17,18,19,20

Theres many many more sites in California. You have a bunch of options open for June but I am assuming they aren't going as far ahead as July just to see how COVID cases pan out. And every day more dates become available as people reschedule or sites reopen.

Thank you so much for this information! So they have not released the availability for July/August yet? I was planning to take my test sometime in July if that was possible. I live in the bay area so I was hoping for Milpitas, San Jose, Sunnyvale, San Francisco, Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, Redwood City and other cities close by. Thanks once again!

San Fran has spots open in June and July 14, 21, 28,29

Oakland July 1,2,13,20,27

Fairfield July 2,12,17,19,26,27

Milpitas July 29

That's just the start of all the dates in July but those other cities have availability too!

Thank you again! This is a big weight off of my shoulders. Hoping the testing sites remain this open when I do eventually get my ATT.

Yes of course, no problem! I was very anxious to receive my ATT to because I heard a lot of testing centers weren't open but they are open they just might not be in the most ideal spot but you can always reschedule if you find a better time or date! I wouldn't worry about it. It took nearly 4 weeks to receive my ATT so I'm sure you are fine! I would contact the state board if you are anxious for an update and they might be able to tell you something! Best of luck to you with taking the NCLEX, you got this!

How long did it take you to receive your ATT?

About 4-5 weeks from the day I submitted my application

Did you receive your ATT? I submitted my application April 30th, and my school sent the Record of Nursing program document and they received it on May 12th and I still have heard nothing from them. Tried emailing my evaluator, no response, and every time I call the rep always gives me the most generic answer. So frustrating

Did you submit your app within 2 weeks of your school submitting transcripts?

Do you have a "criminal history"?
