Wait time for NCLEX

does anybody know how long you have to wait in tn after passing cpne to take boards? or is it based on graduation date?

As in all states, this depends on the turnove rate and workload of the agency processing the information. You might want to give them a call.

I don't think that was the question. Some states require grads to wait for their actual graduation day to take the NCLEX, others allow grads to test before graduation. I'm in Virginia, and I took NCLEX a week before my official graduation date -- the Virginia BON only required that I know my grad date, and EC was allowed to release transcripts before my grad date, which also varies depending on the state. Cheltoe, your best bet is to give the TN BON a call, or you can contact the state boards office at EC (which would probably be faster!).

Hope that helps.
