Pa Board of Nursing--Transcripts

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on their experiences with the PA Board of Nursing. I am currently in the process of registering to take the NCLEX, and am getting very frustrated at how long it is taking to process my transcripts. I have friends in other states who got their transcripts processed and received their ATT within 24 hours of them being sent. The board is also nearly impossible to get a hold of and are not very helpful if you do get to speak with them.

Has anyone had any luck with speaking to someone who can expedite the process of transcripts? Or is anyone in a similar situation?

Thanks! :)

Not yet :( tested on 7/13 and still waiting.

@Stellar88 I heard 2-3 weeks from a lot of people, I would really try and drive there to talk to someone if thats at all possible for you, I did that for my ATT number and it worked!

Hi everyone, very new here.

I am following this thread carefully because I am in the same situation with Pennsylvania. Tested NCLEX-RN on 6/26 at 8am. Got PASS from my quick results.

My license still hasn't posted to PALS, almost 30 days later. Everyday I go check and reload the page. Nothing.

Called PA SBON on July 10 and after 2 hrs and 4 mins, someone finally answered phone and said haven't received test results yet. Said it could take up to 30 days. Said there was nothing I can do but wait.

Pearson said test was sent to SBON the same day I took it.

I called my state house rep's office and they are looking into it for me, but even they are not getting results. Lady at the rep's office is telling me the SBON said now it could be 60 days.

Meanwhile my classmates who passed have gotten their licenses posted within 1 week.

I am contemplating driving to Harrisburg, about 2.5 hr drive one way but better than waiting on the phone maybe?

Beyond frustrated

@maddiestudent I know this is years ago, but how long did it take them? Exactly 30 days?
