I'm impressed, Oregon. You are doing things quickly, you are very reasonable and easy to reach by phone. I got a letter a few weeks ago (unbeknownst to me cause it went to work...BLERG!) and I had some questions. So, I called and you resolved it in under 2 minutes and were not mean, snooty, or exasperated! Not only that, but you're giving me access to my status online so I can check it all I want (until I start EX/RP and the checking behavior will have to go). And, my fingerprints were turned around and sent in for my background check within a couple days.
All in all, Oregon is a good option for licensure and quick turnaround...so far. I haven't received my notification yet, but that is due to some issues (ahem) with my references being slow. I should have it in plenty of time to hit my goal time.
This is a promising relationship. Now if I could only convince someone in your state to give me a fantastic jobby job.
EB, MH...what were your experiences like getting approval?
Alabama has also been surprisingly efficient, responsive, and easy. They have sent me three letters over the past couple of months updating me on the "completeness" of my application. I sent my application in sometime in April and all of my references made it in for the June deadline- so it will be reviewed next week (July 8th). I have also had a pleasant time talking to them on the phone; though they are only there 8-11:00AM, or something like that. Oh and they are quick to reply to email. Overall, I'd give them an "A" for easy so far... -MH
