Hi all,

I live in southern california and I wanted to know how do you get your lvn intern license I just graduated last month and Im studying to get my lvn and I wanted to get all the info I can, on how to get it and if you can?

Thanks Alot!

Are you speaking of the interim permit? You are much better off and much further ahead to go and take the NCLEX-PN right away. Most employers want proof of you passing the exam.

I definitely do not suggest that route.

That was a process you would have wanted to start a couple months before graduating in order to make the timeliness worth it. You might as well wait now and just take your state boards as soon as you can. At this point, by the time you filled out all the intern paperwork and sent it off for approval you'll probably have your license.
Congrats on finishing school!
