PA NCLEX ATT number

Published

Can anyone give a rough time frame that it took them to get an ATT number after you graduated from your Associates program? (hopefully someone who graduated in the last year or two)

I went to school in another state. Students who were getting their ATT from that state BON have already started receiving their ATT. (They rec'd them within a week of graduation, which seems wicked fast.) I haven't. It hasn't been a month since we've been done with school. I wouldn't have expected them to come out so quickly, so I wouldn't have seen red flags if it weren't for students from the other state receiving them already. Could be a problem with PA just being slow?

Any thoughts?

I'm waiting for my ATT in PA as well. I just graduated from WI. It says to allow 14 business days on the BON website, so hopefully they will come soon!

I'm giving BON the benefit of the doubt. We did just come through Christmas and New Years holidays. Have busy week ahead of me. May check with records office at school to verify that transcripts were sent out after the degree conferred. If it went out, I'll wait until end of week to contact BON if I haven't heard anything. I'll have to look, but by end of week, I'm thinking 14 days should be up.

Thanks!

That's exactly what I was thinking. They're lucky I have 5 interviews this week to distract me. (Totally kidding as I know they are super busy with all December graduates). We'll get there. I just want to take this stupid test this month.

Found out today that my blessed nursing dept posted grades to our transcripts.

BUT FORGOT TO POST THE DEGREE.

As I said, I went to a MD school. Only a handful of us were from PA. The transcripts were sent to the BON without the degree listed. Hence, no ATT number.

I have since learned that an error occurred on some members of the previous graduating class.

Sounds like some folks in that office need to get their head out of their ASSending rectal canal.

That's me. One of the few, the proud, the screwed.

Sorry, man. I hope it comes through fast. They should know better if it's happened before, they should know better.
