   Hi Bluesky, What did you find out about the credit check? Is California still doing it? Thanks.

2. unemployed and need help

   RNpatrol replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in New Nurse

   Just a thought on the question, "why would working here be any different?", would it help to divert your answer into all the great qualities that the hospital you are applying to possesses? Reading up on the awards and recognition that the hospital ...

4. Suggestions please, New grad asking for help

   RNpatrol replied to Just and R.N's topic in Job Hunt

   In a similar boat here, I graduated in May, licensed in June, and have been trying in earnest to get a job since July. I sought volunteer work at the hospital I wanted to work in, in the unit that I was interested in. I only was able to start a cou...

5. Can't get into nursing school!

   RNpatrol replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is definitely a problem that many are facing. You'll find a lot of creative alternatives as you start applying and getting rejection letters. The schools that I was applying to and not making the cut only selected 30 people once a year. I wan...

6. Are NCLEX prep courses like Kaplan or Hurst really necessary?

   RNpatrol replied to firefly101's topic in NCLEX

   I was bummed I couldn't afford a review class, I figured "let's just see". I used the Davis's Q and A NCLEX book and CD, I went over a lot of questions in one week before my test. I passed the test with 75 questions, plenty of SATA and prioritizati...

7. How long will it take to get my results in California?

   RNpatrol replied to exhaustedstudent's topic in NCLEX

   I took my test on May 23rd, our transcripts were sent in the week following my test and I only saw my name on the CA BON on June 15th. If you live in Sacramento you can hand deliver your transcripts, which some in my class did. They had their name ...

   RNpatrol replied to Noboundary's topic in NCLEX

   Hi noboundary, Congrats on the good pop up! I took the NCLEX on May 23rd and finally received my name on the CA BON on the 15th. So a little over three weeks of waiting in agony. Some in my class hand delivered their transcripts and found out abou...

10. How hard is the new NCLEX 2013 Test Plan

    RNpatrol replied to souleater11's topic in NCLEX

    I took the test today, had 75 questions and got the good pop up. I had a ton of SATA, conference, no EKG, a few lab questions, and a few regular multiple choice. Good luck everyone, I just used the Davis NCLEX book and CD to prep, it seemed to have...

    We heard back from them about three weeks after the application period ended, no promises, and good luck!

    RNpatrol replied to kdun12's topic in California

    Interesting.. That would probably be the most accurate then.

14. Sac City Extended Campus Sutter Nursing Program

    RNpatrol replied to kdun12's topic in California

    I noticed e services didn't have a separate application for the extended campus, they did last time. I talked to our coordinator and asked if there will be a new group starting in the fall and she said there will be. I would just call the campus an...

15. Sutter Extended Campus Jan 2012 Enrollees

    RNpatrol replied to gratefulme's topic in California

    Orientation was mind blowing, lots of information in short amount of time! It was great though plenty of answers to questions. I believe that the CPR needs to be done by Nov. 28th, but not positive. Maybe gratefulme knows?! I already had mine, so...
