One1 BSN, RN

That is just adding insult to injury.

Congratulations, perfexion!!

At least it looks like they are issuing temporary licenses again. I applied for one as well but they just kept my money and never sent me one.

Could be, I don't think it makes much difference when you send the transcripts. I was told it takes 1-2 weeks from the date the check was cashed (at minimum) before anybody actually looks at the application, so that would allow enough time to request...

Yay, I finally received my license number!! Short timeline: I applied 07/03/14 and did live scan fingerprints & nursesys that day. Transcripts were sent out 07/08/14 directly from the school. Cash was checked 08/01/14, my application popped up o...

I think this is what bothers me the most about the whole thing. We are not applying for an ATT number so we can take the NCLEX. We are licensed nurses coming from other States in the U.S. I find it ridiculous that we even have to show transcripts of ...

You're welcome, good luck on your path!

The beauty of the nursing world is that (in theory) you can work in any area you like, or change from one area to another as you grow as an RN. Nowadays, pretty much every nurse is a "general" nurse fresh out of school. You specialize (maybe for the ...

Perfexion, did the lady you talk to actually look up your application in the computer with your application number? Did she explain a bit more about what number you would have been able to call and receive a license the same day?! (If so, I'll grab m...

No, I don't think it makes sense to even apply for a position without a CA license. I cannot be hired until I have one, even if I do currently hold a license in another State. With how slow the CA BON is, I doubt that prospective employers will hold ...

Turned my application in the beginning of July even and no change in my "pending" status as of today. It is very frustrating.

It's the worst when you get 2 people from the same company telling you opposite info.. I called my college first and they sent me to getmytranscripts. When I called gmt, the guy on the phone told me about the form upload options and said that the op...

I used that website. I printed out the transcript request form from the CA BON, filled my part out (I think it is the top part), and then scanned it to my computer as a pdf. On the getmytranscripts website is an option to upload forms, and during you...

I have seen ER techs hang around a department way too long, and way past the point where "respected experience" turned into "acting outside the scope of practice". I would not expect much success from talking to management, but I would tell the tech ...

No, still waiting.

Go with a check, that way you know when it was cashed and if you can view the cashed check online on your bank's website then you might be able to see your application number. Mine was handwritten on the check. My check took app. 4 weeks to get cashe...

You can sign up on Breeze with that information plus your Application number (you might have to leave off the first digit of that number), but, as you said, it might not do much good to do so if the status on Breeze is unreliable anyways. No news her...

Hi everybody, chiming in here as well. I too am waiting for my CA license via endorsement. Check cashed on 08/01/14. On Breeze, my status states "pending, educational hx missing", so I called since my transcripts were sent out the beginning of July. ...

How about offering a 2 weeks notice when you sit down with your manager in person to quit? Tell him/her why you are quitting (work hours, family) and offer the 2 weeks as a goodwill gesture. You can have 2 written notices prepared, one with the 2 wee...

1) Cleaning up incontinent patients with C-Diff diarrhea. A lot. Often. 2) Unhooking completely hooked up patients (to monitors and IV fluids/meds) to help them to bedside commode. Help patient back to bed, rehook (unless you have to leave all leads ...

Emergency Departments are different throughout the country, but the Emergency Deps in our area do not hire CNAs, only IV certified EMTs. Also, our ICUs do not hire CNAs. Find out what the requirements for the hospitals in your area are. If you want t...

Our providers are all really good about discussing DNRs with family members. However, the timing of these discussions is not the best when it happens in the ER, while the family is emotional and stressed about the patient. Unfortunately, many familie...

Yup, your patient is not going to wait for you to whip out your phone and google Vfib as he is about to tank and needs some pads attached.

Come on...Just one sentence prior to this you state that you "...respect other people's religious choices...," yet it is too much to ask of you to be quiet while they take a minute (or less in many cases!) to do something that is very meaningful to t...

It is offensive because it forces somebody else's lifestyle (in this case, the act of praying) on somebody who does not want this act of praying. I am a spiritual person but not religious, and I cannot stand it if somebody asks me if I pray or offers...
