I am taking the NCLEX July 22 but I am faced with a huge problem. I am being hired to work as a camp nurse from July 28-August 24... however, their requirements are either 1) I have my RN license number by the time camp begins OR 2) I become certified in this special emergency health officer course which costs about $450. They don;t want to take the chance of my not having my license number by the time camp begins so they want me to take this course (without reimbursement) which isnt even offered everywhere and anytime. Does anyone know how long it takes for license numbers to be posted? If I know for sure that it would be posted before the camp starts I wouldn't have to bother with the course. Any advice?

I sort of found a job already in Bakersfield... my dad works there and I would be staying with family during interviews, while looking for jobs, etc.

I am a new graduate from a NY state nursing program and made the decision to move to Los Angeles and find a nursing job there. It has been a really confusing process and I do not know what to do.. I was hoping someone can give me advice. 1) Can I take the NCLEX here in NY if I want my CA license? 2) Would it make more sense to get my NY license first and then request reciprocity, send the paperwork and fee etc to be licensed in CA? I heard it can take 4 months for the CA application to be processed! So maybe I should first get the NY and then CA? It's ridiculous though as I will be moving to CA anyway. I do not want to have to wait 4 months to take the NCLEX! 3) Which application do I submit first? Pearson Vue registration or NY/CA application? 4) When should I submit what? And in what order? Also, if I take the NCLEX in NY and pass, can I apply for the CA license before I have the actual license (but I know I passed)? I understand it can take weeks to receive the license. 5) Is the process quicker to reciprocate a CA license from a NY license than to apply for initial licensure in California? Help! I'm confused and I don't want to decide something that I am going to regret... Thank you!
