      Waiting for results

We get 3 to 8 weeks of mind numbing studying every waking moment to prepare

Then we get two days of trying to reregister to see if the PVT still looks good while refreshing the BON website 9 million times a day hoping to see our name...

Which is worse in terms of nerves, stress and anxiety? (or select all that apply! LOL)

To me it's the wait. Anyone?

OMG, the wait for the ATT was tough, but now having the NCLEX done, waiting for the results is awful!!!

Cali must do everything slow! The ATT took 2-4 hours here if you dropped off the transcripts and 1 day if you mailed them. But our BON licenses everything from CPAs to Veterinarians, and they rotate which field they do each day. So a lot of people who took it Monday got a license yesterday. Today must have been accupuncture day or something because they did not update at all. :-( I so hope they do nurses again tomorrow!

Cali is HORRIBLE. It took over a month to get my ATT from when my check was cashed (which was about a month after I mailed it). Check cashed 5/8, ATT arrived 6/13. My classmates are seeing official results posted in about a week (we don't have Quick Results in CA). SOOOO annoying, especially with a dream job waiting for me!!!!

I totally caved. Good pop up. Still not convinced, but feeling about 5% better. LOL I'm not counting on anything until official results are posted. Kind of glad I'm skeptical, because I really don't want to count on the good pop up only to have to tell everyone I failed. Just in case.
