   If you know for certain that you want to work in California, you should just take the nclex for california board. It takes just as long endorsing and maybe even longer. I had friends who took their nclex in california and got their license quicker th...

   cyaos replied to zornzo's topic in California

   Hi Seas, MSN, I am in the same boat as you. I submitted everything by paper April 18th and it was finally "received" May 4, 2016. It used to say "missing educational history," but about a week or two ago it just says open with no deficiencies. I also...

9. NCLEX RN Advice

   cyaos replied to merzielynn's topic in NCLEX

   Hi enileg! I guess everyone's study strategies aren't the same, but I would probably stick to one or two books max because you don't want to overwhelm yourself. Have you used Kaplan qbank or uworld qbank? I won't say this for everyone, but I feel li...

    cyaos replied to 808415's topic in School Programs

    Hey guys, saw some people wondering why they had to do financial aid so early. The reason is so that they can calculate what grants and loans you will be eligible for by the time you find out if you get in or not to help you decide whether Penn I'd t...
