Should I contact the board?

I graduated from an ADN program on Aug 17. My school was supposed to send out applications to take NCLEX-RN the day before, once they knew whether we passed HESI or not. I guess my real question is, how long should I wait before I call the board to check on my application? I know it hasn't been that long, but I'm getting antsy. :uhoh3:

I would contact the board to find out, for my LPN my app had to be reviewed and Mine was even processed by the board within 4 weeks. I grad april 28 2006, took boards May 25 so I would call. They are really nice when you call, they will tell you exactly where you are in the process also. UR from Rets right? that explains the wait. Good Luck with boards. Also when you get ur ok to test do it all online its much faster than the mailing things in.

I decided to contact the board and did so on Friday. It was a good thing I did because I never got an e-mail from Pearson. Why? Because somehow they didn't have my correct e-mail addy! :uhoh3: JJT, you were right, they were very nice and I'll be sure to do everything online. OMG, I so hope I pass first try because I never want to go through this again!

SynMel, you have PM. ;)
