I took the boards june 29. I had no problems getting my ATT or anything wrong with my paper work. the rest of my friends waited about 2.5 weeks or less so why is mine (same school) taking longer? i'm nervous but is there a reason to be nervous?

according to the NJ site, it takes 6-8 weeks for license by endorsement. I dont know how long NY takes

I have been dealing with the NYS BON too. I took my boards on July 2. I still have not been licensed. The man I talked to the first time stated that there were no problems with my application and I WILL be licensed, NYS BON has "no help" and that they were behind 3 weeks. He even stated that I should be "coming up soon" and that "tomorrow or Monday" I should be processed. So, I kept checking the site, called the following Wed (this past). This time, I told the woman that answered that I was told my license would be processed by Monday and it wasn't. She gave me a bit more information and stated that the BON had "changed the rules" and that I would not have even been able to take my NCLEX exam when I did if they hadn't - in other words I would still be waiting to take the exam if it weren't for them accepting Form 1. She also told me that they are behind and receive 2000 applications per week. I let her know about my pending job offer (good to know I am not alone!). She said perhaps a week - I can only hope...

ya they told me that too. they released the ATT before the form 1 was processed so we wouldnt have to wait for the ATT. when I called Monday (last week) they said they were up to May 15-16. our school sent our stuff on May 18th. hope you get it soon

I had the same problem!! I called the BON and asked when I would receive my license # and they said "...Not sure exactly we are working on it." Then I said, "I have an interview tomorrow and I really need it." The lady put me on hold and when she came back she had my license # ready. Crazy, right?? Maybe you could try the same thing? Hope this helps.
