   PhDRN replied to uandi's topic in California

   CSU San Marcos does not currently have a nurse refresher program. I tried looking it up over the weekend but got 'error' pages when I clicked on the link. I called them this morning to find out what's going on. They said the program is being complete...

6. License Renewal question and career change advice needed

   PhDRN replied to GrooveeBabee's topic in Career Support

   Actually, in California they give you 8 years of lapse before they require NCLEX. It's called the "8 Year Retake" application. There are less draconian measures for re-instating licenses lapsed less than 8 years. So if you are getting close to 8 yea...

   PhDRN replied to GrooveeBabee's topic in Career Support
