hi yes still waiting, in the email, HR said they would be out of office until jan 2, so hopefully we start getting emails soon. 

Hi, friends! I received a brief email with next steps. They mentioned sharing our PALS card-- does anyone else here not have PALS? Wondering if that is something I should do on my own or if that is something we will be doing with theM?

hey guys! does anyone know how many people were selected for this cohort?

Hi!! Did everyone who got an offer receive an email already? I'm refreshing my inbox like crazy LOL

hey guys!

lastly, for those wondering, I know that all offers have been sent out and I believe only if someone opts out of their offer will they start reaching out to those on waitlist. 

Hi friends-- SOS is anyone else starting at CHLA who went to an out-of-state nursing school? I passed my (NC) NCLEX on Friday and just completed the application for endorsement. I am REALLY worried that my license will not be ready by our start date in March. Is anyone else in the same position? 

As I mentioned, I am doing the the CA license by endorsement process. I am transferring my NC license to CA and was wondering how long this process has actually taken people from the time you submit your Breeze application. The website says a 10-12 week processing time, but frankly I am stressed and freaking out. However, I have heard from some that it doesn't take that long so I am curious what you have experienced/ if anyone else is dealing with this right now. Furthermore, is anyone else worried about this communication requirement!? Thanks!! 

I endorsed mine from NJ and I would say the longest part of the process was the fingerprinting. I waited for 2 months then found out ny prints got rejected by mail so I had to fly out and do them in person and then it got approved within 2 weeks. If you submitted your fingerprints by mail, I would highly recommend flying in and getting them done to air on the side of caution :)

Does anyone know if there's a Facebook group or anything for our cohort? I'm moving to LA and looking for some insight! 🙂
