Waiting on ATT...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I've been checking 10 times a day for my ATT. Yesterday I text my program chair to verify all information had been sent out only to learn it has not! :mad:

We graduated May 6th. Our last exam was May 4th. Grades were due that Monday. I was under the impression they were going to be sent out later that week and we would be seeing our ATTs 2-3 weeks after that.

I guess she has plans to send them out today.

I was hoping to get the test done prior to moving in July but that's looking less and less like it's going to happen.

There is another girl in my class that got a job offer but she has 45 days after graduation to pass NCLEX.

Anyone else dealing with this type of frustration?

This is something that a student should factor in, ask about, and not make any assumptions about. You can read similar complaints about schools that do not submit information in a timely manner or that do it a few students at a time.

I "assumed" it would be taken care of because my program chair SAID it would be submitted later that week (The week that grades were due)

And honestly this is not something I would have thought about when starting the nursing program. But yeah, it is something I wish I would have known prior to admission.

Note: There were only 10 students in my class and 9 in the other class. My program chair had a total of 19 students to submit information on.

There was a hold up because the program chair didn't make it to the office the week after graduation and then there were two students who weren't certified to graduate.

I'm still waiting for my ATT as well, so I totally feel your pain! It sucks to have to wait to test because your school didn't send in the required info--it not only delays taking the NCLEX, but it delays landing a job in many cases as well. Hopefully we both get the good word very, very soon!

I am waiting too! My state has a site where you can check to make sure they have all the paperwork, and my state DOES have it all set, so I am just waiting on Pearson I guess.

I am also waiting on my ATT! UGH...I sent all my paperwork in overnight express 5/19 and tracked online to see it made it to the BON on the 20th, I applied for my license in DC, and it doesn't seem like I can check the status of the paperwork online at all. I've heard for other states it can take anywhere from days to weeks to get your ATT, and even though I just sent my information in I have no patience. I have a job already lined up that starts in july and it requires me to have passed my NCLEX for me to start it! So i'd like to be able to schedule my exam asap, anyone have any idea how long it takes to hear back, or how long I should wait to call the BON and ask them about my paperwork??

I just graduated May 14th from a BSN program in Ky, but I live in Tn. The people in my class who live in Ky already have their ATT but those of us who live in Tn have to wait for up to 4 more weeks. I have no idea how all this works between states but, I am very frustrated as well.
