   She passed! So she took the exam Friday morning and by Tuesday morning her name was listed on the CA permanent license verification

   Hmm, well the website was updated overnight on the 27th/28th but her name is not there. Maybe

   GeoffM replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   That's excellent - well done! Hopefully her name will appear later on Monday then as she took hers the following day to

4. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

   GeoffM replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Thanks to those that addressed my questions. She had 80 questions, stopped for a break, came back, answered one more question - and it stopped! Like another poster, she reckons she had about 20-25...

5. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

   GeoffM replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Another question: is the application # on letters from the BON the same as the interim permit number? I searched for that too with no luck. Her number is 90xxxx which is a little earlier than most...

6. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

   GeoffM replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   How long does it take for the registration to show on the California BON website? I've gone back scores of posts and only found one reference to California back in October - and that was the same...

7. CA BoRN

   GeoffM replied to GeoffM's topic in Nurse Registration

   Thank you! Just typical how we wait weeks for something to happen, I decide to post here again, and within an hour the mail arrives with the good news! I saw the envelope while she was out shopping...

8. CA BoRN

   GeoffM replied to GeoffM's topic in Nurse Registration

   Thank you for the further response. Since writing my reply, the mail man has been and dropped off a letter saying "you have been found eligible to take the NCLEX-RN"! At last! So that means no further...

9. CA BoRN

   GeoffM replied to GeoffM's topic in Nurse Registration

   Thanks - one of those links is one I glanced at, though at 74 pages I didn't read anywhere near all of it! Although she's got something like 14 years of nursing experience, I guess she might still be...

10. CA BoRN

    GeoffM posted a topic in Nurse Registration

    My wife is a legal permanent resident of the US, living in California, originally from the Philippines and previously spent the last 9 years in the UK, the last few of which were in ICU. She is trying...

11. NCLEX/CGFNS confusion

    GeoffM replied to GeoffM's topic in International Nursing

    With the type of visa I'm hoping to get (currently in RFE) we should be able to arrive and apply for SSNs after a couple of weeks, and receive them shortly afterwards. At least, that's what I've been...

12. NCLEX/CGFNS confusion

    GeoffM replied to GeoffM's topic in International Nursing

    How things can change with a little urine... she's pregnant! This puts it around the time we were hoping to move so, given the health insurance issues in the US when arriving pregnant, I guess we'll...

13. NCLEX/CGFNS confusion

    GeoffM replied to GeoffM's topic in International Nursing

    By the sound of it then, she should simply wait until she arrives in CA then, and hope that I will have a job for when (if!) we arrive. Given that the SSN arrives a couple of weeks after arrival, what...

14. NCLEX/CGFNS confusion

    GeoffM posted a topic in International Nursing

    My wife and I have been confused by what an agency have told her she needs before applying to sit the NCLEX-RN exam: doesn't seem logical but may well be correct. Hopefully somebody here will be able...

15. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    GeoffM replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    I don't think H1B applications should affect US graduates as the former are experienced; the latter not so. So if a hospital needs an experienced, degree-level ICU (for example) nurse, then the grads...
