I'm confused and need help. I have a RN license from CA and want to get an IL license. Do I go through IL to get it and how? I looked up the IL licensor board but couldn't figure it out,where to find the right form or what??!! How long does it take? ...

Hi, I'm looking for any info you can give me on Ky towns and hospitals. My family and i are contemplating a move to IL or KY. We are undecided as of yet. We would ideally like to buy a house and land in a small town, but near enough to a town with sh...

Hi folks! To those who replied to my previous post about Southern IL, I thank you. My husband and I went on a "whirlwind tour" of small towns in Southern IL and we really liked what we saw, but picking one town is a bit difficult. I liked Carterville...

Wish $44.00/hr. were true, but Schroeder and Trauma are right on target. I am a new grad in southern IL. and that is the range at which new grads start at. Wonder where the $44.00/hr. came from? I'm origianlly from southern CA and even they don't pay...

Well I am majorly new to PP, but here is what i have learned so far.... it takes very little circular motion to make a fundus firm (as a rule anyway) yes you do have to push down to check the fundus for firmness and if they are real boggy blood can g...

Well here is my two cents. Get the RN, not that I don't know of some great LVN's, but from what I know the LVN schools are quite pricey!! Like $20,000 or so because they are private schools. The community colleges are much more economical to get an R...

i will never understand how one person can get results in 3 days and another person has to wait a long torturous month!! mind boggling!!! anyway congrats again danilo.

Okay it is time for an update. First I so appreciate all the post I have received. It has all been helpful. And now for the news- we are officially moving to Southern Illinois this summer. My husband was just offered a job near Benton. So now we jus...

Hi folks, I am looking for some info. As you can see i am from CA. My family and i are interested in moving to the Southern area of IL. I just passed the NCLEX and i am looking into hospitlas in the southern area. Does anybody know what the starting ...

Major Congrats!! I am so glad that things worked out for you!! Welcome to the nursing world!!

I've got my fingers crossed for you also!! I agree waiting is tortorous. Hope you hear soon.

So sorry to hear your name is not on the website. I have a good friend who did not pass too. It is heartbreaking. I wish there was more that i could say. One idea is have you gone to a NCLEX review before?? Sometimes its not just knowledge, but also...

Thanks for the website. And now I have a headache for sure !! I can't believe all the paperwork I have to do!! It is so overwhelming. I hope I can get the tempory permit quickly. Thanks again Mirasol.

Thanks again for all your help. I will look into vieena and goreville, sounds pretty good!!

That doesn't sound good. I will apply at once!! Thanks for the tip.

To those of you have read my other post about our possible move, I did get a job offer at Carbondale, as you probably have read above. Why is the pay so low?? Any Carbondale nurses out there? Are there any pay scale raises in the future??? We are loo...

Oops, I forgot, i would love more info on Vienna. What kind of town is it?? Size?? How big is the High School. Real Estate?? Any info would be great. Thanks Again!!

I read your reply on the other post as well, thanks for the info. We actually drove thru goreville and talked to the principal or superintendent of the school and a real estate agent there. It is a really pretty area. I was offered a job at the Carbo...

And remember it was Easter that week and Good Friday. The board could have had an extra day off for the holiday. Don't panic yet. There is still time for your name to appear.

Sorry to hear you have no results, waiting is the worst. Wish I had some magic words to give you. Most people pass when they get 75 questions, but I have known of a few who didn't. But I would say the odds are in your favor that you passed with only ...

Samclaug Thank you for the info and personal thoughts. I was just concerned that Carterville would be so competitive that he would not be able to play or that being a "newbie" would hurt his chances on getting to play. Some small towns don't like new...

I know of a few. pm me if you would like the details for Northridge, Holy Cross in Mission Hills, Olive View in sylmar and a few others. I don't know about a lot of the hospitlas in the heart of LA. Mirasol

Oh, I ment to add that my school sent the info to Sacramento before graduation. I graduated mid December and had my letter to register less than two weeks later. So it really depends when the state receives the info from your school.

You will get your letter from the state allowing you to register with Pearson-Vue once they have received confirmation from your school. That usually takes around 4-5 weeks. Once you get the letter you can sign up online with Pearson-Vue and Pearson ...

I recently graduated from the community college in Valencia Ca, College of the Canyons. The wait list is two years as a rule. Strictly a numbers wait list. I have heard that Ventura is about a year on the lottery system. Good school and difficult, fr...
