There is a discussion on the New Grad RN- Bay Area facebook group, some people say they found a way to upload cover letter, recommendation letters, etc., but you do that after submitting the application (and it's not required, so not sure if it will ...

I took the NCLEX-RN for California in February and 2 days later my name was on the Board of Registered Nursing website. You can check the license verification, if your name is there then you passed :). Here is the link: http://www.rn.ca.gov/online_se...

Hey lizzieengel, just fyi UCSF cancelled their new grad program for this year but maybe they will open it again next year. Stanford and the VA have new grad programs. Like others have said you should apply to anything you can find, not just hospitals...

I got in as well, but I won't be attending because I just got an offer for per diem employment (yay!!) at an eye surgery center. I didn't list every specific job I applied to, I more explained all the avenues I have tried for finding jobs (volunteeri...

I can list some off the top of my head and maybe others can add to my list: Anatomy Physiology Microbiology Nutrition Developmental Psychology All the actual nursing classes- pediatric, labor & delivery/obstetrics/mother baby (pretty sure this ca...

Given your appreciation for nurses, I bet the nurses like you as much as you like them :). Being nice goes a long way!

Thanks for starting this thread! I applied as well. Going to a bay area nursing school is one of the criteria considered in the application, and I went to an out of state nursing school so I'm thinking my chances might not be great. I figured I might...

Fellow unemployed new grad here. To me the key is the "in this job market". In the Bay Area everyone knows it's extremely difficult to get a hospital job as a new grad. Because of this it's understandable that someone would take a cushier job because...

Hi Maqer, I finished a 2nd degree nursing program out of state in December. California wanted all of my transcripts, to show that I both completed nursing school and filled the pre-requisites such as microbiology, anatomy, etc. I ordered the paper fi...

I went to nursing school out of state (but in the US) and got a minimum of 84 hours in each clinical area, right after school I got my CA license so I know my hours were sufficient. Not sure if there are any differences for requirements outside of th...

What is the best search on facebook for the new CA group? Strange how we can't get to the old one.

Hi, I realize the last comment was from several months ago, but I have the same questions regarding the Zur Institute and Stop Child Abuse courses- did the CA BRN accept these for the 7 hour child abuse course for those who went to school out of stat...

Adding to this thread that it worked for me too! When I tried to sign up again after taking the test it said "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for further assistance. Another registrati...

Just wanted to chime in to confirm that if the school where you graduated does not list all of the pre-requisites on their transcript, then you DO need to send in transcripts from the schools where you completed your pre-requisites. I did a 2nd degre...

For those who applied for the March 2013 UC Davis residency, has anyone heard any updates? Thanks!

An organization does a yearly survey of NPs and PAs regarding their salary information. I don't know anything about the organization, but it looks legit. Here is their 2010 report. Their data show FNP and PNP quite close for average salaries. Hope th...

Hi clarkc27, GW required me to return my declaration of intent before I heard back from any other schools, so I went ahead and paid the $275 deposit to make sure I didn't lose my spot at the one school I'd heard from. Once I have enough information (...

I too am deciding between Georgetown and GW (and maybe NYU, I haven't heard back from them). If I get the WHC scholarship to Georgetown that will make my decision for me. We will have those decisions in late May.

Hi LizLemon and others, True to form, GT responded within 24 hours to my email about admitted students day and the scholarship interviews. Here is what they said: "We will be sending out an email shortly with information on our admitted student event...

In as well. I replied to ask when the admitted students day and scholarship interviews will take place. I'm guessing that information will come in a second email, but I'm too excited to wait patiently :).

I submitted my DoI on April 7th, but the acceptance letter definitely made it seem like submitting on April 8th should have been OK. Any questions I've emailed or called about in the last month have not been answered. At least you are not alone in t...
