re:vermont processing time to for licensure/att

suzanne4, RN · Dec 13, 2007

It takes three to four months on average now to get approval from VT to sit for the NCLEX exam. The three months starts from when you pay Pearson-Vue and they also receive the approval from VT so that they can release the ATT.

The approval from VT has an expiration date, as well as the ATT that you will receive from Pearson-Vue that will permit you to test.

The expiration date is based on when Pearson-Vue has released the ATT, and that is when the countdown of 90 days begins. For most states it is 90 days once you receive it, there are still a couple that are a little longer.

Please be aware that there are no extensions permitted past the expiration date of the ATT, and if you do not test by then, you will be starting the process all over again, including paying for the testing fee, as well as the licensure fee with the chosen state again.

Hi everyone. I just would like to ask for some advice. The VT BON has received my application early Feb 2008 and I've been reviewing on my own since January, I'm really confused when to start reviewing in a review center (well it's not my choice, I want to review on my own but my Dad wants me to enroll in Kaplan, which offers a 3-month review program, so why not). Should I enroll now or wait for my eligibility first? And one more thing, how long does it take for Pearson to send ATT? Is it days or weeks or months after VT BON made you eligible to take the exam? Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

You are looking at anything from 2-6 months to get eligibility from BON depending on paperwork. Check out the NCLEX forum under the student tab, you do not necessary need a review center but that is a decision you make. Either way you will be affected eventually by retrogression and looking at several years before moving to the US if lucky as no longer a guarantee due to the high demand

hi! i would like to ask.. i received the white card from vt bon, the white card is like 2 white post cards joined together. the other card contains a letter to the applicant and some instructions on how to get the att. it also says that "once you have registered to the examination servive complete the bottom portion of this card (i think it means the other or second post card were you will write the candidate id no., address, etc.) and return it to the office." what i did was i detached the second post card were i wrote my address, candidate id no., date of birth and send it via mail to the vt bon. i left the other post card containing the letter for the applicant with me. did i do the right thing by no sending the other post card or the vt bon also requires it? the letter doesnt says not to detach the post cards, or they also need the other post card (w/ the letter to applicant) but only says to complete the bottom part (which i think pertains to the the second post card with the candidate id no.) and return it to the office. does the bon need both of the white cards or just the card with the candidate id no.? did anyone get my point? sorry for asking a stupid question but i was just anxious that i did the wrong thing. a reply would be deeply appreciated. thank you and godbless!

Good day fellow Nurses! I've recently passed the December 2007 NLE and have been reading posts here at allnurses.com for quite a few weeks already. I'm really interested in applying for Vermont BON because I've read in previous posts it has one of the fastest processing time and the staff are very accommodating. I know this question has been asked quite a few times already but I just want to make things clear.

Since my license will be released at a much later time this year, could I include my board certificate of passing or board rating with my application to Vermont and write them a letter that I will follow-up my license upon its release? Or would a letter explaining my current situation with my license suffice their requirement for the license?

Your response to my questions would be very appreciated! Thanks and God Bless to the members of allnurses.com :bowingpur and to all Nurses around the world!

hi! u dont need to send them a certificate of passing, a cover letter explaining your condition together with your application will be okay. just send them a copy of your license once you receive it. thats what i did.. you can do that if you want.. :nuke:
