    what i know about the clinical rotation stuffs is the Notarized paper. it says there the CLinical instructor your with and the head nurse of the Hospital. i know you got that before you graduated for sure it's just a different term i guess,, i hope it helps.:redpinkhe

    @faithj, for me its ok to take NCLEX-PN exam bec. it almost the same with the concept of NCLEX RN but its up to you.. At first i dont like to take the NCLEX-PN and I want to go straight to NCLEX RN but for experience coz i dont have any exp. after graduated in nursing school bec. of the problem in internship in phil. But when I decided to challenge the NCLEX PN and start to review then im surprisingly its almost the same with NCLEX RN but just a few diff... but remembered if you going straight to NCLEX RN and you failed the exam you cannot take the NCLEX PN just the rule here..

    Where did you get the idea if you fail NCLEX RN you cannot take LPN? We have had several members fail RN and then apply to the boards to take PN and passed. Both exams are different to the extent the roles and scope between PN and RN and you need to be aware and answer accordingly

    CA has 2 different boards of nursing one for RN and one for PN. You need to submit application for which ever one you decide and all information can be found using the links to the BRN/BVNPT. Ca will make their own determination based on what you submit and will inform you if you are eligible to sit NCLEX. Remember you are not applying for NCLEX but to be a licensed nurse in the state you apply to. How long is hard to say but look at an average of 4 months for both nursing boards

    You have to submit application on the state BON website and depending on their requirements will depend on what you have to do. For CA you will need to ask your nursing school to send your transcripts to the BRN and pay any fees
