So sorry, you don't care for what I said but call the California boards and see what answer you get. They do NOT accept online or distance learning schools. And yes, TESDA means NOTHING in CA, especially with the LVN/LPN programs because they don't...

There are hundreds who continue to fail the exam so the priority are those who pass the exam. Then they work on it. I use to work there, my friend still does. For those asking how long it takes to get your license (not in enforcement), keep in mind...

This is true....they worked their fannies off and let their work slide for a week.

Kennedy Global, Kennedy Review is a definite NO in California for original licensure or endorsement.

This is not exactly correct as it pertains to the RN and not LVN. If you have a secondary certificate from the Philippines, you can have a credentialing service verify it's equivelent to US graduation. Have you tried an adult school in CA for the L...

Ask the director of the school if they tried to tell the CA Board that they were not internet/distance learning based. If anyone is considering getting their license in CA either originally or by endorsement, the answer is a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fr...

Thank goodness you can't get licensed in CA since you trained on old machines and took the cheaper way out.

You may want to contact the Board of Nursing whether it is the RN or LVN Boards. Last I heard, if someone wanted to by the mailing list of licensee's, they would get your address. If that is the answer, I'd get a PO Box. With the Board of Nursing,...

I use to work there and sitting here bored on my friend's computer. The numbers are not totally correct. You do need approximately 1530 hours of which you must have 54 theory hours of pharmacology and 30 theory+15 clinical each in maternity and pedi...

Before you put a deposit down, ask on the boards here if the area is ok especially in the area you are working. Mather now has a very nice housing tract surrounding it however, not far away....I wouldn't live (my apologies to anyone that lives in RC...

My friend still works there and I can guarantee they are not purposely holding anyone up. They are swamped with the new reporting laws, people turning others in, the new fingerprint law because people use to lie on their renewals saying they had no c...

The same thing happens at office workplaces and it always gets to me. I don't remember if you said if you just work for an english speaking company or in the US. Either way, if they have a policy on speaking english, either abide by it or look else...

You are not officially licensed until you pay the fee on the letter you received. The BVNPT cashiers the check and has your license printed with the next available license number and sent to you. Your name appears on the website about the same time...

Kennedy Review, Kennedy Global and Kennedy School of Practical Nursing are not approved for LVN licensure in CA. Call the Board of the State you want to really work in and ask. The states are catching onto what these schools are doing.

More than likely, you did get right through having a BSN from the philippines for the Lvn however, those with LPN diplomas from the Philippines have a lot more documentation they have to obtain per my friend.

Isn't the BRN in CA now requiring a US social security number or Tax Id number? Go to www.brn.dca.ca.gov and send them an email through the contact page.

Glad it worked for you! Everyone at both Boards are pretty helpful, just a tad swamped especially with the furloughs and no overtime. (don't forget if driving there that they are both closed the first 3 Fridays of the month). When I had worked the...

When I worked there, a lot of people called that they had they had not received their license when in fact they did, they just wanted a duplicate. Unfortunately, when some do not tell the truth, it puts a damper on others down the line and some, suc...

Should also add that I see missing from the ones pushing those toward going to the Philippines for an LPN/LVN program, it's not only the visa problem but a lot of state Boards are scrutinizing those programs more and it's getting harder to be approv...

Out of the 51 months needed to "challenge" the CA LVN Board, paramedic experience can only be 8 months maximum. The rest of the experience would have to be in an inpatient hospital or long term/skilled facility. If you had strictly paramedic experie...

I believe you just proved the point of many of the posters on here. If a school is telling you how to secretly circumvent the process, something is WRONG! No credible school would EVER tell someone how to "get around" the law of a state board. NON...

What is the deal with getting an LPN in WV and then endorsing to CA from the Philippines? Are you just moving or is there something floating out there that it's a good idea? My friend said that CA is one of the more strict states on foreign transcri...

Were you given the school code to register for your ATT? If so, the Board considers that you completed the program. Call the Board and ask to speak to the evaluation unit.

If the school ends up not getting their accredidation, you would still be able to apply by equivalency. The downside to that is that you may not be able to endorse your license into another state if you moved.

Navychick If all is still the same from when my friend worked there, you should be getting a letter with your results probably asking for all info on your conviction. Very standard and very common. Pose a question to those who have checked yes on the...
