waiting for ATT

suzanne4, RN · Aug 11, 2005

It doesn't take this long even for foreign nurses.............there must have been a mix-up in them sounding the info on to Pearson-Vue. I would just phone them in the morning. The ATT can actually be sent to you via e-mail.

I was told by a friend that receiving your ATT via email is quicker. They email you and mail you one. Do they have your email? If not, see if you can call up to give it.

If Pearson hasn't received the information from your BON, you should contact your BON and find out what the hold up is.

I just got the email last night saying they got my $$ and application. Now I'm waiting on my ATT. At the end of the email it said that if my ATT didn't arrive in 4 wks to call them. They reached me via email with my registration verification within 2 days. I overnighted my test application Sat. and they must have gotten it Monday..and sent me the verification Wed.

Hopefully they'll get back to you soon. If you're worried...I would call again and make sure you tell them how long it's been. Heck, I would call the state.

i'm in the same or similar situation right now.

after 1 year and a half waiting for my report from the cgfns finally they made it. they sent me my copy of this report (ces) at the beginning of june telling me that they had sent it also to the georgia boarding. after two month without response i called them yesterday and the bon said that they hadn't received anything yet, right away i called the cgfns and they assure that they sent it. i asked both of them what i have to do, and they said that they are not responsible, funny, isn't it?

meanwhile, i have to keep working in a gas station, after 11 years working in healthcare is becoming kind of weird.

is this the procedure of a system trying to protect the american people from fraud, or is this the system trying to keep qualified nurses with a first-world education from filling the shortage of nurses in this country?

i strongly believe that i will be approved, and i'm wasting my skills at non-related jobs, with a job authorization, ready to work. the government is spending money to fill the large gaps of educated nurses in the us. here's one who could help.

sorry for this sermon and my english.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys.

Well, I called the State this am. The lady whom I spoke with seemed concerned that my application has been overlooked. :uhoh3:

She told me check on Pearson Vue middle of next week. By then, she said, my ATT would be released. HOPEFULLY! :rolleyes:

GOODLUCK TO US ALL!

I will pray for us!

I talked to a few of my classmates that received their ATT by email two days ago. The first available date in state is September 12. I can afford to wait that long. I haven't received a number but I was able to set a test date. I set my date August 24 in Memphis TN. My only worry is my number may not get to me in time and I'll have to reschedule.
