HELP California College doing Obstetric training to meet CA BRN minimal requirements

Published

Hi, Im new the site and to California. I am a UK qualified nurse and have been in CA for 5 months. I have been through the CA BRN and after a long time, received a letter saying I must do an Obstetric course to meet their minimal requirement and before I can sit the NCLEX exam.

Has any UK or other nurses done this Obstetric course at the accredited college, if so WHERE in California please so I can apply direct to them. I live closest to San Jose.

I must say I am feeling very disheartened with the whole thing it has gotten me down terribly. I don't want to give up but come on, why is this so difficult to get on to, I can't be the first UK nurse to try and get on this course?? HELP please

You may have to consider moving away from where you are to get the course done. Some may allow you to do it as a guest student.

This is something we see due to how UK training is done now but we are also seeing many Philippine nurses having issues with CA BRN and their training

Thank you for that, incredible how difficult it is to find a college/school who does this and what's available. What do you mean by me moving away from where I am to get the course done? I am looking all over CA?
