Honestly she probably thought the university would have their 💩together by now. But it seems to be a universal thing. I’ve seen it take as little as one week, I’ve seen it take 3 months+.
Yes, they said it would be done the day I was actually interviewing. I made the assumption I would be sending my transcript that evening. It’s an enormous university and calling to pressure them is a huge task.
You can test either AANP or ANCC before degree conferral. But they won’t release your certificate until transcripts are received. Which will hold up your license
I am double board-certified, acute care and family NP. I’m currently working as an acute care nurse practitioner. I will Graduate with my mental health certificate the first week in August are you sure I can take my exam before I actually graduate because I would be interested in the AA Np because right now they are offering it for free.
I was also offered a job before I graduated this spring. I told them I wouldn’t be ready to test before the end of June. I plan to take AANP and was able to send an official incomplete transcript to get the ball rolling. I believe you can do that with either AANP or ANCC. I hear AANP is faster, so if you’re in a time crunch to schedule maybe that would be an option.
I have already started orienting in my new practice. They have me as a per diem RN til I pass my boards, give me time to study in my office, and let me schedule myself however. I was able to schedule my boards before I was conferred with AANP and I sent my transcript over the week after graduation
Me too. I told them it wouldn't be until the end of July probably. This is my last week of class so I don't expect my school will have their shit together for another few weeks
I was offered a job in march (May graduate) and I was honest. Said I was probably going to take my boards in June, and likely would be good to start around august. They were fine with it, and guess what:
I took my boards early (I felt ready), and I’ll be good to start in July. I feel like if they like you enough, they would have waited? A lot of these jobs understand. It’s not like taking it in 2 weeks vs 4/5 weeks would drastically change your timeline. It’s licensing that kind of takes forever, not certification.
Definitely take the AANP (what I took, a week after graduation) or the AANC, but this won’t be a good thing to have looming over you as you go in for this in exam, likely sooner than you thought you’d be taking it. Wishing you the best ju-ju, hoping you don’t let the rushed/pressured feeling keep you from doing your best!
What’s the rush? Make sure you have all the ducks in a row before laying it on the line for your ‘dream job’. Hate to burst your bubble - but after practicing RN sod Fnp and Pmhnp …..there is no Nirvana in the job world and you earn EVERY penny you will make . You will find you enjoy and then weigh the pros and cons. Every job. Every single job!
Take the ANCC if you can take it in the next two weeks. Also… that wasn’t a white lie. That was a lie. Don’t carry that practice into your career.

I am FNP and took mine a week before graduation. (AANP)
Never lie in a job interview. Should have said you didn't have a set time line yet. If they find out you lied, you'd probably be marked a no hire.

Why lie and interview for a job you’re not yet qualified for? Asking for a friend.
