Here is some more information:

There is a email listed in the pdf where you can contact the Department of Health about your specific situation, you can also get them to send you the necessary forms to apply to take the test. You will need to send in a copy of your official transcript or get a signature from the head of your nursing department in order to take the test. That being said, many hospitals will hire student rns and probably lvns after you take a certain amount of semesters.

In order to take the test you must be one of the following:

  • Successfully completed a state-approved Nurse Assistant Training program.
  • Are currently enrolled in an RN, LVN, or Psychiatric Technician Program.
  • Are a foreign trained or is a Nurse Assistant in another State or country.

i sudgest taking it at ROP in Anaheim,Ca

the instructors pretty much walk you through the hands on skills portion and there very fast with their results. You can schedule an appointment for the next exam at Golden West College. Only downfall is that youll end up paying $90 for it, and dont even think about missing your sceduled date lol. Hope this helps, good luck.
