Whats the hurry? Wait until its dried out properly, there is no point in spending money out to get the walls skimmed and you want to go in Gun-Ho lol
Never mind what someone says, listen to us, we are the professionals.
I do know there is a paint product you can use for wet plaster,or plaster drying out, cant remember what its called, but i would never use anything like that, no matter how much of a hurry I was in.
What paint finish are you thinking of putting on?, matt, silk, soft sheen etc

Leyland matt...................not particularly in a hurry but had heard it was ok to paint when just short of fully dry.
