So, you graduated, how long until you tested?

Rumors abound that grads of other programs have already tested and I'm still waiting to get my ATT number. The OBN has had our stuff for three weeks and says they'll need another two weeks (according to my friend who got through - I just keep getting the "high call volume" message).

So, when did your school send in your stuff? Did they - or did you have to send in your completion info? We were told to background check, send in app back in April, pay pearsonvue, etc. LCCC sent the info to the state and the state received it all on 6/21. It's been three weeks and they say another two weeks.

So, I sort of want to see what the norm is. I think the school took entirely too long and now we're at the bottom of the list.

Yeah well I graduated from Tri-C December 16th. Tri-C sent the letter of completion to the OBN on the 14th of January, I had my ATT on the 14th of February, and tested on the 5th of March. Things are faster at the OBN in the winter though since there are fewer new graduates. I'd expect your ATT sometime the end of July or early August.

I graduated December 14, got my ATT January 9, and tested January 28.

I have numerous friends that graduated from CSCC as well in early May and most have already taken the NCLEX and passed it by now.... some are starting jobs. In this time of year, it's usually a 6 week turnaround from graduation to ATT.
