Congratulations on your recent graduation! As part of the process to onboard new grad RNA/RNs, Sentara Health is required to collect from you either an Authorization To Test (ATT) or an Authorization To Practice (ATP) letter, if you have not yet obtained your RN license.
Example:
All acceptable letters will have the header (as seen above), will have your full legal name, and will outline the conditions to practice in an RN role. The Board of Nursing issues these letters once you have graduated and met all requirements (including clinical hours).
Please keep in mind that the letter is only valid for 90 days past your graduation date and/or if you have not taken the NCLEX yet.
These letters automatically become invalid if you have taken the NCLEX and have received a failing score. In this instance, please notify your onboarding representative right away as this could affect your employment with Sentara since you will be required to wait 45+ days to retake the NCLEX.
