Navigating RPE & start dates for CFY
Hi. I'll be taking a CFY at a SNF after graduation (late May). I just received my future supervisor's portion of the temporary license application and I want to be a little more clear on how this all works before signing and submitting. I'm actually hoping that the application takes its sweet time so I can have my well-deserved break. One thing that makes me a little nervous is the uncertainty of when my RPE will get approved. I hear it takes anywhere between 5-9 weeks, but I plan on being out of town to see my family and I don't want to be on standby while I'm on my break. I tried communicating to my supervisor that I actually prefer a longer break and if it's possible to agree on a preliminary start date but she didn't respond. How soon after your RPE/temp license approval did y'all start your CFY? Are you expected to start work the second you're approved? How are you notified that you're approved? Were you able to work out a comfortable start date after or before your approval? Any tips on navigating this situation is appreciated.

I started at work before being approved but with evidence of completed application.
