Hi, I hope everyone is fine and well. I am Filipino nurse (batch 2014) and like many others here were required to take certain subjects. It was a let down. I took LVN route while looking for schools. That part was the hardest. Almost every schools out there wanted me to repeat the whole program. Then, I decided to move in another state. I chose Oregon, took NCLEX and got a job offer.
The day I was about to moved, I received an offer email from Cal State University- San Bernardino. I took a risk and out of 200 plus applicants, I was given a spot in the program of 48 people.
I met people in the program who I have learned a lot from. That was the best summer for me. I met people from different countries. We shared the same struggles and helped one another.
Now, I am very happy to share that I finally have my RN license in California. My story is about determination and moving forward to achieve your goals. If I did it, you will surely will.
I am glad that 2015 graduates and onwards are not having this problem anymore. I am not a religious person as well but this journey made me closer to God. Never give up, get that RN!
