The NCLEX PN wait in CA

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello everyone. The wait in California for LVN/LPN is outrageous.

I graduated LVN: May 21, 2014

Received my letter to test: July 16, 2014

ATT email: July 17, 2014

NCLEX PN: July 23, 2014

As soon as I got home I did the PVT trick and I got the good pop up. Now the wait is on again!!! I was told the average time is about 3 weeks. So I'm hoping that is the case and I won't have to drive myself crazy.

NCLEX PN takers what was your processing time in California?? Is anyone currently waiting like I am now??

can i ask how much a LPN OR LVN makes in california? anybody has an idea about surgical tech makes? thx

It depends on the area. Northern California makes more. So it can be between $16 to $35.

$16 to $25 through nursing registries and skilled nursing facilities. And $28 to $35 at hospitals like Kaiser and Sutter Health.

Just got my first job her at an assisted living facility and I get 19/hr. Full time. Got my license oct 2014 and hired her nov 6th

I started working as a LVN in a carehome last Oct 15,2014. Got my temp license last Oct 6. They hired me even tho I only have temp license. :)

It takes around 3weeks usually. But around this time of year it seems to come faster I heard.

Man, you guys are lucky..the wait time has dramatically improved from when I took it. Back when I took it the wait for the ATT was 4 months, the wait for the NCLEX results was a month, and the wait for the license card was 2 months. My actual wait time was 11 months because of some stupid red light ticket I got when I was 18 and they had to investigate me and make sure I was "safe to practice". You'd think with all the money we pay them they'd move a little faster!
