Thanks for the responses! So I understand that it's the same test...so when I take the NCLEX in PA, can I somehow specify that I want to get my California license when I pass, and not the PA license? Sorry, I am just confused! Thanks again!

I currently live in PA, but I am planning on moving to California after graduation. I want to take the NCLEX asap after graduation, so I will still be in PA. Is it possible to take the California NCLEX in PA? Or do I have to take the PA NCLEX and then get reciprocity for California? Thanks for the advice!

Uandi- Thanks for the response..although not exactly what i was hoping to hear! Did you relocate to the area, or are you originally from San Diego?? And can i ask if you have your RN? And have you gotten any interviews yet?? Sorry, a lot of questions i know...I just really really want to move out there, and I'm hoping you can help me out with some more information about your story. Thanks for the response! And good luck to you in your job search! Christina

Nicunewgrad- Hi! I'm thinking about moving to the san diego area after I graduate in april (I currently live in PA). How did you get hired at UCSD from NH? did you apply online and fly out for an interview? I'm just wondering if i should move out there right away, or wait and see if i get offered interviews. I appreciate your response! Christina

Hi! I will be graduating in march with my BSN and plan to relocate to the san diego area ( i currently live just outside philadelphia, pa). I am wondering if there are any other new grads who moved out to the san diego area? Did you apply for jobs first, or move out there and then look for jobs?? Also, is it harder to get hired if youre not from the area? I'm just worried about not being able to find a job. I appreciate all responses! Christina

Hi! I'm currently in the ACE program (I graduate in march...hopefully!). when they say that you have to give up your life for a year, that is no joke. you have a full schedule of classes along with clinicals (it changes every quarter). I know a lot of people live in the dorms, and alot of people commute. The program is doable...but it is the hardest thing i have ever done. To put it in perspective: my class started with about 105 students. Currently, in the 3rd quarter, we have about 40 students left of the original 105. crazy, right? but good luck!! you can do it! it will be well worth it..hope this helps!
