   Butterflykissesxo - Suggestion: apply as soon as possible for your California license - it can take 6-8 weeks to actually get it. I am sure you have heard the job market in San Francisco is very competitive. If you do not have at least 2 years of RN ...

    ILUVFLRN replied to SarahClaire's topic in Operating Room

    So true! I accepted an OR position as a new grad and work with many seasoned RNs from med/surg, ER, L&D, etc. Most have no desire to return to bedside nursing - reason being nurse to patient ratio and the work schedule. I don't plan on spending m...

15. Curious...how many attempts did it take you to pass NCLEX?

    ILUVFLRN replied to klone's topic in NCLEX

    Once - 76 questions. I attended a Kaplan classroom based NCLEX RN review. 21 hours of instruction and they guarantee you pass or you receive a full refund. It was well worth the initial investment.
