Thanks guys, I'll keep a positive outlook and continue my efforts.

I just became licensed for vocational nursing. There are lots of jobs but most say "no new grads" or "must have one year of experience" in the requirements of the job. One agency that I applied to responded to me via e-mail saying that I should contact them after I obtain a year of experience. How then am I supposed to get a year of experience if facilities don't hire new grads. This is confusing. These people were once "new grads" themselves. What gives???

Thank you! This helps a lot. I plan on walking into local places that use LVN's. This way I can see if the DON is available and hand in a resume at the same time. I know of others who have done this and it gave them a bit of an edge. Thanks again for your input.

I just received my notice that I passed the NCLEX-PN in California. I mailed the fee and am waiting for the license but I have a few questions. How long should I expect to wait for the actual license? Will I see my name on the BVNPT before I receive it in the mail. Can I work as a LVN once my name is on the BVNPT or do I have to wait until I have my license in hand. Does anyone know of a good area to try to find work at? (So far all the places I've checked wants 1 year experience) Thanks!

How are the logits calculated? Is there a reason that we don't get what we actually scored instead of pass or fail? Do you know if that is the only thing changing or will the questions become more challenging? Thanks
