Question about Pearson application...

[hlfpnt, BSN, RN]

Hi everybody! I skimmed the forum to make sure I'm not doing a "double post" on this...unless I missed it, I didn't find this question. I spoke with my BON & they said to send in my state paperwork 2 weeks before pinning, but I couldn't get a straight answer as to when to send in the PearsonVue application. I can't get ahold of a "human voice" at Pearson & the bulletin doesn't really say. I'd like to test as soon as I can after school...I'm just curious as to when everyone's sending in their Pearson application? Thanks in advance!

I did all my pearson vue application online. I did it about 1 week after I sent my stuff to my BON. Remember when you do the pearson vue you have to pay the 200.00 right then. I had to wait about 10 days to schedule my test after graduation. I had to wait for my school to send the info to the state. Hope this helps!

:chuckle I waited until the week of pinning, i sent the info through the mail, got a receipt of registration via email, make sure you put an email address on there, i got my att faster that way...my att finally got emailed to me 5 days after the reciept of registration got to me. Send it in as soon as possible..i think the bon needs to get get something from your school saying that you have graduated first before anything is issued.:roll

I sent my application to the BON like 2 months before graduation because they told us it may take up to eight weeks to process. I then paid to the pearsonvue a month before graduation.And like someone stated up there, be sure to include a vaild email address on there. I graduated on friday, my school sent in our affidavit of graduation and transcripts to the BON on monday and I got my ATT from pearsonvue on Tuesday via email. You can go ahead and pay to pearson right away since you have already sent in your application to the BON. That way, once the BON receives your papers from your school, they'll let pearson know you are cleared and pearson will then issue your ATT. Hope this helps..

Thanks...all your replies helped alot!!!! I know that was probably one of the silliest questions posted here...but I've never applied for a license before & kept hearing all kinds of stuff regarding this process. I'm just ready to be done & want it to go as smooth as possible...one less thing to stress about!!!
