1. Need more confidence or look confident for interviews

   cali_yoshi replied to newbie RN's topic in New Nurse

   Wow, there's a lot of great information in this thread. OP, I have been told the same thing, and that is that I appear timid and not at all confident. It's just my nature. I've always been on the shy and reserved side. It's definitely something I ...

   cali_yoshi replied to Charleyandme's topic in New Nurse

   I applied for their new grad program, as well, but I haven't heard back from them. I'm assuming phone interviews are done? Or are they going until October 3rd? Anyone in the know?

9. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

   cali_yoshi replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   I just wanted to come back and give an update. The PVT absolutely worked for me. After waiting three LONG weeks plus one day, I saw my name on my state's BRN this morning. I'm officially an RN. I must say that the PVT did ease my worries somewh...

10. Did I FAIL??

    cali_yoshi replied to cali_yoshi's topic in NCLEX

    I was actually blind-sighted by this Lifesavers Nursing Review leaflet, which could have easily been interpreted by someone such as myself as not passing her boards, especially because I'm still waiting on my official results, and this program claims...

11. Did I FAIL??

    cali_yoshi posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX-RN almost three weeks ago on Tuesday, June 28, in California. I have yet to see my name on California's BRN, so I've been doing the PVT every single day since my test date. I'm continuing to get the good pop-up. I've called Califo...

12. pearson vue trick

    cali_yoshi replied to happyrn28's topic in NCLEX

    TLCsmiley13, I'm right there with you. I took the NCLEX-RN over two weeks ago on Tuesday, June 28, and my name is still not on CA BRN. I, too, continue to get the good pop-up on Pearson Vue, which is somewhat comforting to me. Have you called the ...

13. How long does it take CA to post

    cali_yoshi replied to OnthewaytoCA's topic in NCLEX

    Congrats to everyone! You guys are seriously lucky. I'm having the worst luck. I took the NCLEX two weeks ago on Tuesday, June 28, and I still don't see my name on the BON. All I can really do is wait, which is absolutely torturous.

14. Does incomplete BRN application affect PVT?

    cali_yoshi replied to cali_yoshi's topic in NCLEX

    Oh, my goodness, I'm seriously beginning to lose all hope. It's been well over two weeks since I've taken the NCLEX. I've called the BRN and they confirmed that they've already received my transcript. My application is complete with the exception ...

15. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    cali_yoshi replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    I have seen random posts here and there of people saying they know of people who got directed to the CC page, but later learned they passed. Not sure how accurate these posts are, though, since it was never firsthand information (it was always someo...
