for nurses w/ CHPN certification

I took the CHPN exam on Dec. 5th. I got my results right after I completed the test and I passed! I got the temporary print out with my score at the testing center that said I would receive my official certificate in the mail within 90 days. I know it's only been a month but my name has not been added yet to the CHPN listing online and haven't received the certificate yet. I know it's early but I guess I'm spoiled because everything nowadays has been so fast! When I passed my NCLEX my name was on the state board of nsg website within like 2 days, and when applied for licensure in another state it took only a few days as well. Also, I told administration at my job that I passed and gave a copy of my print out from the testing center but they want a copy of the actual certificate when it comes.

I guess I'm just antsy because I'm still excited that I passed! :) Did anyone else get their certificate or have their name added to the online CHPN listing quicker than 90 days?

Hey congrats on your certification, can I ask what did you use to study for the exam?

Mine seemed to take forever to come in the mail, although I did not count how many days it took. I could look up & print a certificate on line within a month or so.
