I graduated 1986 with only my AA. Got hired into a level one trauma center in So Calif. I can honestly say I was scared , and had no confidence. But my saving grace was my preceptor. I was with the same preceptor for 6 weeks. She helped me work throu...

Hi. I just checked the BRN liscense verification site and my duaughters liscense was posted.. She passed. Did the Pearson vue trick,, and it had the good pop up.. Good luck to all, and dont give up on your self.

Still no results. California needs to join the rest of the states and have quick results. There is no excuse for any one to wait 4 - 6 weeks. Everything is computerised.

Hi My daughter took it March 13th in Culver City. No results. It is so dissapointing that Calif will not participate in quick results. 47 states do. I live in Alaska and the girls here got the results 1 hour after testing.
