All you did was take the NCLEX. Pearson Vue has your exam results but they don’t issue your nursing license. Each state has its own Board of Nursing and licensure requirements. In order to have the license post in California, you have to apply to the CA BRN and pay the licensure fee. California requires Livescan fingerprints so you have to do those to get licensed in CA. I teach senior term nursing students and we discuss this completely in their final term in school. Hope this helps.

No sympathy for you from me. Get vaccinated or find another place to nurse that will accept your pseudoscience research regarding Covid vaccinations. Choices have consequences- suck it up Buttercup

This is not bullying- your hospital has a procedure/policy in place for Covid accommodations - you haven’t completed the process, yet fault the employer. Many nurses have underlying conditions that make them more prone to Covid. Start the exemption/accommodation process or leave. And stop playing the victim card- it is not a good look.

Or where that text will ultimately land up in the future. Much better to have these kinds of conversations in person.

Did you find a preceptor?

The CA BRN has a portal that schools use to upload applications and documents. Your school should be able to upload your transcript directly to the BRN.

I also use enthusiasm, metaphors, stories and memes and I generally feel as if my students are engaged. I also use humor which helps to keep everyone in a good mood during lectures. Of course there are always a select few students who won’t engage, for whatever reason . I have done my duty to them by presenting content needed to become a good and safe nurse.

I have always had a “side gig” on the weekend (I teach on- ground Mon through Friday). Being in the clinical area keeps me engaged and definitely allows me to be more authentic with my students about what is currently happening in health care. I also like the extra $$

As a successful nursing manager, with a well functioning unit, I have to agree with this statement. Hopefully OP will get an opportunity to work again in acute care.

This is my impression also- not a snowball's chance that you will get a different position with this hospital. Move on and look somewhere else.

As a white woman, I concur. Except white MALES have been over-represented in healthcare studies as a percentage of the population.  Women, of any color, have been shamefully absent in many research and pharmaceutical trials.

Make sure you pay special attention to where there are shortages of PCPs. I live in a large city in California and NPs are having difficulty finding positions- many are in direct competition with PAs for some practice areas. The more rural areas are still hiring NPs here but not everyone is willing to move.

I am faculty here in California and I took a significant pay cut to teach. I work a per diem gig on the weekend to make up the difference.

This 100% ^^^^^

The EdD is not being phased out in nursing- please cite your source for this assertion. Also- EdD is not a heavy research degree.
