Has anybody challenged the nursing board for their LVN license as a military medic? I recently passed my NCLEX-PN by challenging the nursing board as a Air Force medic and now looking to get into either LVN to RN bridge program or LVN to BSN in the state of California. I am losing hope because I am having difficulty finding a program and this is my 3rd year trying. I thought it would give me an advantage by having a LVN license but now I feel like I have less of a chance since I get put into a different bracket of "30 unit transfer" which admission usually depends on space availability. Is anybody in the same shoes or have any advice to how to move forward? Any military friendly LVN-RN programs out there? Honestly, any advice will be appreciated at this point.

Reply to jtboy - I read your post about your NCLEX experience and was very inspired. Thank you for taking the time to write this post, I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much, I appreciate all of your support! I kept reading each and one of your comments just to calm my anxiety before and after the exam. And I am happy to tell you all that.... I PASSED!!! P.S. If you have any LVN-RN program suggestions/advise/etc, please reach out to me as I will be pursuing that route.

I'm taking my NCLEX for the 2nd time tomorrow... When I first took it I only used U-world and up till now I studied using both HURST and U-WORLD.. scored 80/125, 66/125, 69/125 on Qreview and in the 78 percentile in U-world.. Do you think I stand a chance? Any last minute advise? Is going over Hurst videos night before a good idea?
