Now i live here in california and would like to go back to medical field.. After reading so much now i know i can't take the board to become a nurse here in cali and wondering if can take the lvn exam instead... i submitted all the required paper works ..got the post card meaning they received it BUT ITS BEEN ALMOST 8 MONTHS SINCE THEY RECEIVED MY APPLICATION AND I WAS WONDERING WHY I HAVEN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING SINCE THEN. I tried to contact them via mail but they send me a mail saying i can check the status of my application though BREEZE, check it and says it still PENDING. i don't know what to do now. Are you also experiencing this delay or its just me. what should i do now.. please help.. thanks

Do you understand that the PN registration exam permits those who pass it to work as a NURSE?

They probably do understand that, but California is unique in that their BON only manages RNs. LPNs go through a different process though a different organization.
