Where does my ATT come from?

Silverdragon102, BSN · Feb 20, 2006

I am testing your patience with this one - and apologies for that, really.
I have registered with pearson-vue to sit the exam, BUT where does the ATT come from? Geena

I though Pearson now issues ATT

Pearson-Vue actually is the one that issues the ATT, after permission to do so from the BON in the state where you applied.

Yes, Ok! Thank You! That's why it takes a while then! I am going back to my books!!!!! Geena

It's Geena again!

Sorry! I registered with Pearson on the 15th of February. On their web site it only states the registration date and the amount paid for registration.

Should I be receiving the ATT over the mail or email?

How soon could I expect this to happen?

Thank You for sharing your experience!

Both. The acknowledgment/receipt and the email version of the ATT should be emailed to you within 5-15 mins. after you have registered. The snail mail version of the ATT will be mailed w/in 7-10 days.

The ATT will not be sent until Pearson-Vue actually receives permission to the state to send it out. It is only sent when you pay the fee, as well as have permission to sit for the exam.

This is why I always recommend that you never submit to Pearon-Vue as a foreing nurse, until you have received approval from the state that you meet their requirements.

Hi!

Yes, I have received a letter from NY BON to sit the exam, I also got an email replying to my enquiry re: what is the back date.

Still no news from pearson; snail or email. I paid with a credit card.

When did you receive the letter from NY BON? How long ago?

suzanne4, RN · Mar 12, 2006

When are you coming over for a visit? And when are you taking the exam?

Still on the other side of the world?

Geena, BSN, RN · Mar 16, 2006

Hi!

Yes, I am still on the other side of the world and pulling my hair out with the ATT issue. I am planning to sit the exam beginning of May - ´during my R&R. My eoc here is beginning of July. I received the letter from NYBON ages ago, sometime in September? I got really worried about how long I will have a valid application with NYBON and contacted them via email. I got a polite reply from a Ms Ortiz, that my eligibility for May will be alright so just go ahead and register with Pearson. And so I did.

I did receive an email from Pearson stating they acknowledged my registration, but nothing since. I sent an email to NYBON and got a reply that due to many enquiries they are not able to reply in 3-4 weeks. My snailmail goes to my parents in Europe, who are checking for me - but nothing so far. Any suggestions?

I am going really well with the study programme - and am looking fwd to the exam. My visit to your side of the globe would be next summer - soooo... not so far away!

You need to contact Pearson-Vue, looks like the issue is at their end, if you already got approval from NY.
