to fudgeremedy, i am a vermont rn. i also had the same problem back in 2006. i can't recall the exact month i submitted my documents, i think around july or august 2006. my friends and i filed our application at the same time. eventually, they got their eligibility while i kept on waiting for mine. i've waited patiently but months passed and i still did not receive my eligibility. i even e-mailed them but got no response. come january 2007, i gave them a call already. apparently, the reason for the delay is that i need to explain why i did not work as nurse from the time i obtained my local rn license up to the time i filed my vt application (i declared that i got no postgraduate nursing experience when i applied). so i made a letter (e-mail) and explained that after obtaining my local license, i prepared for cgfns and ielts that's why i was not able to work. after i e-mailed them everything went fast and smooth. i took my nclex march 31, 2007. try to call the board and verify if you still need to complete some requirements. btw, in our group, i was the only one who was asked to provide an explanation why i did not work. my friends also had no work experience when they applied but got their eligibility in 2-3 mos. i hope i was able to help.
