I live in California, and I know that everything is always delayed here because of budget cuts. Well, I had to report a traffic ticket that was over $300 (a speeding ticket that went up because of late payment charges) on the initial NCLEX-PN application. I received a letter saying that I passed the NCLEX-PN in February of this year, but my case is under review. It's been more than two months of waiting for my license application. I feel like I am wasting so much of my time waiting. I tried contacting the BVNPT many times, but I am always directed towards a voicemail for Enforcement Department. I've left many messages on that voicemail, and I've also emailed them numerous times. I have yet to receive a response. I tried contacting my nursing school I graduated from about this situation, but I seem to be ignored.
Is there any way I can expedite this waiting process? I've already sent in the paperwork they asked for (three times). I've also had it mailed Next Day Air.
I was planning on making the trip to Sacramento Board of Nursing with all the necessary paperwork they requested and present it in person. If I did that, would it even make a difference? Or would the trip be in vain?
Any advice is really appreciated. I'm starting to lose hope...
I can't believe how long it took them to get you your license. I have been waiting for a long time too, but should be getting it anytime soon, I hope. They reviewed my case and then sent me the application. I sent it with the 150dlls two weeks ago. How long after you sent the actual app did it take them to send you the license in the mail? I am soooo anxiuos. I am very afraid that even when I get it I won;t be able to find a job either. Did you find a job already? I am in Riverside county as well...
the board of nursing let me take the nclex, but it just took way too long for them to review my case (6 months). they sent me a letter a month after i took the test saying that i passed, BUT my case was still pending to be reviewed. no luck yet on the job search. i must have applied at every SNF in riverside county; every facility i talk to wants an LVN with at least 1 year experience. now i'm trying to branch out to orange county to look for a job. it's kind of depressing that i can't find a job.
That is INSANE!!! How can it be that even in SNF there are no jobs? That is really scary!! I will try in OC too, even in LA I guess. But I didn't think it would be THAT hard to find a job. Have you tried assisted living?
it was really hard to find a job at first. it took me about four months after i received my license before i finally got a job at a SNF. and i was so lucky that i got that job too.
