Pennsylvania recent graduates

[larien37]

Just recently graduated (last week actually) and I was wondering in Pa what the experience has been with other newly graduated individuals getting their notification they can register for their exam? Our school said once they submit our info to the state board and they verify our info we should get an email back with an att number (unsure if that's correctly what it's called) that will allow us to register to take the nclex pn. Our first round of taking the exam was included in the cost of our tuition so our school sends a big check. I have been checking the state boards site daily (logging onto my status page) and everything still says pending. Just anxious and wanting to register to take the exam as soon as possible

I'm not familiar with the test registration procedure where the fee comes from a third party (like your school) rather than from the individual being tested. Registration for the NCLEX should be through PearsonVue and I'd think that you still would have to do this yourself. Maybe there's a mechanism on the PV site that allows you to enter a some kind of code if payment has been made by your school. If I remember correctly, all of the communication about the NCLEX comes from PearsonVue - the BON website indicates something like "license pending" once you are registered for the exam but I don't recall getting any notification from them.
