Registering for NCLEX test after graduation

[texaswoman1]

Hello. I recently just graduated with my BSN and I know my teachers stressed to sign up to take NCLEX through pearson VUE 30 days BEFORE graduation but I did not have the money then. I plan to pay for it and register in January. So I was wondering if this will affect me getting my ATT in a timely manner? I have gone on the BON and they are still waiting for the affidavit from school and all I am missing is my registration with Pearson. Did anyone else wait til after graduation to register for the test? and how did it affect you taking the test in a timely manner?

I had several classmates who registered after graduation. All were able to take their test in a timely fashion.
