  1. California RN Endorsement (Grad from ABSN)

    It took one month with the live scan.... so I'm not sure with the card. I applied for a temp license but got my perm one first :/ so I wouldn't bother with the temp license.
  2. California RN Endorsement (Grad from ABSN)

    Mine didn't break it down either.
  3. California RN Endorsement (Grad from ABSN)

    Yes. Mostly nurses from the Philippines. They are denying many endorsements as well as renewals. You should call the BON.
  4. Okay, need some help here...

    Yes I would say (as others have) that for professional it basically means "re-learning" nursing. Everything is different with Neonates. There is basically no room for error because they are so tiny. Also it means teaching to the parents, EVERYTHIN...
  5. You would still be going back and forth to the rooms, since the babies are in and out of the nursery. Not as critical though. Usually just normal labs and teaching for the parents etc.
  6. transferring NY RN license to CA license..

    Yes I was a new grad. Yes I had previous experience as an extern as well as a temporary 8 week assignment as an RN. I also have a BSBA in marketing. I am at a large hospital in Fresno.
  7. NICU Internship Interview tomorrow

  10. California RN Endorsement (Grad from ABSN)

    Did you endorse or NCLEX for CA?
  11. California RN Endorsement (Grad from ABSN)

    Yes. It is better than having to wait for CA BON to tell you they need it. Just request them all.
  12. transferring NY RN license to CA license..

    In my experience they didn't even look at my applications until I obtained a CA license. The endorsment process took about a month. Since neither of you worked you are basically competing with every other new grad, which as I'm sure you've noticed ...

  14. Take the hit??

    You made plans based on your administrators answer of 2 weeks. They should be held to that. You should be covered. Good luck in your new job!
  15. BSN or ADN?

    With the new grad unemployment rate so high you will likely not be marketable without a BSN. So if you are wanting to get your ADN and work while getting your BSN it will be difficult. This is actually the route I chose due to moving. And I was job...
