Thank you so much BigB..that was alot of info. I actually filled outmy app now I have to do the exam portion online; however a staffing company for dept of corrections contacted me. They place you when needed, but there are no benefits and I am worri...

BIGB... Thanks for all the info on the prisons. I actually received a call from someone regarding a LVN position at Chino Mens detention. She told me she was sending me an app, to fill it out and send back. They run a backround check that takes about...

I am right where you are. I live in temecula, but the hospitals up here don't hire LVN's. Supposedly Sharp, Alvarado, Scripps, Pomerado do. However, alot of their positions are in there SNFs and if they have any acute care positions they want 1 year ...

It depends on what state you live in as to how fast you get your results. I have never heard of getting results the same day, but I know many states participate in fast results which usually takes two days. If you live in california, like myself, the...

Baylay.. No, I do not have a job yet. Busy looking, but unless you have experience they don't wanna hire you. These are jobs for acute care. There are alot of SNF jobs, but I really want to work acute care. I posted my resume on monster, but not a wh...

I waited 4 dreadful weeks and so did my friend who took it on the same day.We took it on February 12, in san diego. However, it only took them 4 days to post my license number. I have a couple friends who took theirs on march 1st and they haven't rec...

Congratulations Baylay! You got your results alot faster than I did. I sent my paperwork back last saturday and by tuesday my name and license number was posted. Very happy for you!!! Now you can rest at ease. Its such a load off your back..isn't it?

Hi everyone.. I am new to the board. I just took my nclex monday, feb 12 in san diego california. The test was an absolute nightmare. I graduated from my lvn program with really good grades and I swear I felt like I knew nothing on that exam. Especia...

Shantae.. You cannot get quick (unofficial) results in california..they do not participate in this program. Unfortunately you have to wait for the mail and let me tell you they are lagging. I just got my results yesterday and it was almost 4 weeks. I...

I got my results yesterday..just shy of 4 weeks and I PASSED!!!! Both my friend and I who took it the say day, Feb. 12th, passed. Now I have to wait another 3-4 weeks to get my license. Thank you for all of your positive thoughts!!! I am so glad this...

People pass all the time with 205 questions. I would like to tell you to relax, but then I would be a hippocrit. I am waiting for my nclex results too. Its been 3 weeks since i took the test. My computer shutoff at 85, but I still feel I failed. i kn...

Congrats Scared...well not scared anymore...I am so happy for you. Alot of people seem to be questioning getting 205 questions so its good to see you passed! That should make alot of people feel better! Mail comes in 30 minutes..so here comes the wa...

Baylay... Thank you so much for the info. That makes me feel alot better. One of my classmates took his 2 weeks before me, he failed and got his results in 2 weeks. Today is exactly three weeks for me. I can't even stand going to the mailbox right kn...

Yes..people pass with 205 questions. I see it on the board alot. I will keep my fingers crossed for you! When do you get your results? I live in california and am still waiting. Today is 19 days since my exam. I am beginning to think I really failed ...

Unfortunately california does not participate in fast results. We have to wait for the actual mail to come. Its ridiculous!

I was the second one to take the test as well. My friend heard back at 15 days and he failed. Ugh...however, there was just a holiday so maybe they are a little behind. I hope I hear something today...my mail comes around three so we will see!!

Yeah I heard the same thing. No names are posted on the LVN website until you pay for your license. I have been waiting 15 days and still nothing! This is complete torture!! I just wanna know one way or another so I can move on. Anyone know how long ...

I think wages depend on your state. Usually you get paid more doing home health or working at a SNF. At least thats how it is in california. Some hospitals here hire LVN's to work on the floor but, it's only about 16/hr to start where as SNFs are abo...

Thanks LALVN... That info is helpful. Hopefully I will hear something in the next few days. I can't believe the price went up..my goodness! 75$ reg fee, 200 test fee, 120 license fee, 200 IV cert fee...what else?? Forget how much I spent on testing m...

pagandeva... That is so funny. I remember getting the question..narrowing down to two answers..I would start to think about it then just say screw it and picked one. I felt like I was wasting my time thinking about it cause I was never gonna get it. ...

Thanks for the info commuter! I am officially on day 8, however I think it will take longer with the holiday and everything. Hopefully by the end of this week.

You probably need to check with your school. Most schools hold information workshops a couple times a month which will give you all the info you need. I went to a cc and we had to have antomy and physiology, english 101 and doasge and calculations be...

Baylay.. Don't think you will pass out! I am sure you will be fine. The weird thing for me is that I was so amazingly calm during the test. It was after the test that I started freaking out. You still have to pay another $100 for your license. The $2...

Thanks for your replies! Yes, the waiting game here in california is ridiculous!! What is the big deal about getting unofficial results in 48 hours? This is pure torture. I have so many things up in the air pending this result..my IV cert class (supp...

I thought someone had told me california was a 3 month wait after your original test date. I know alot of states are 45 days, but I thought california was longer. I am awaiting my results and afraid I failed so I am curious about that as well. Also,...
