   Ok, another followup, just in case it helps someone... At the time of this post, in order to apply for a license by Endorsement, I had to send an email to a specific BON email address. I received an instantaneous automated reply with directions on h...

   11nick posted a topic in Maryland

   I'm licensed in PA and have a new job in MD, with 10/30 start date. I need to get a MD license. I've heard all the BON horror stories, so I don't need to rehash them. What I do need is two sets of numbers that are submitted with fingerprints: CJIS...

5. Questions on WGU before applying

   11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Western Governors

   Just found a video link in an older thread. Someone showed how to navigate a course on the WGU site. If you complete an objective course and take the final test... can you start the next class before that final test is graded? Early in that video,...

   11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Western Governors

   Reading on older posts, I see people had concerns about the pass/fail and 3.0 final grade from WGU. I don't see this complaint as much in the more recent posts. I also saw a post where someone got into CRNA school, having gone to WGU for earlier de...

   11nick posted a topic in NCLEX

   On the NCLEX exam, you have a minimum of 75 questions. A maximum of 265 questions. Theoretically, you can get every single one of the first 75 questions wrong and still be able to get up to 71% of the (total 265) questions correct..... which would ...

   Don't know if this will solve the problem or not.... I'm a guy. I hate plumbers crack. I have certain shirts I wear under my scrub tops. They are my longer tees so I can tuck them into my pants. One day I grabbed a different tee shirt by accident...

12. Recent PA GRADS: How long until you recieved your ATT?

    11nick replied to vil2290's topic in Pennsylvania

    I was done with school Dec 17. Due to a screw up in the nursing dept, they never posted the degrees to our transcripts (which the BON needs to see). That wasn't discovered until last week. So, I should be one the road to getting an ATT now. I hav...
