I suggest try looking for jobs in nearby towns from bay area. I did a travel assignment in Doctors Hospital of Manteca and they were always hiring and training new grads!

Hi Laita, I am trying to endorse my license to CA. I am in a situation and I think you might be able to help me figure this out. They sent me a letter that has "A copy of your clinical rotation schedule, registration forms and class schedule" listed as requirement. Did you have to send anything like that? did your school send it? what exactly are they? registration forms? Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi NepalRN, I don have answers to your questions but was wondering if you would share your experience of applying to CA with me. I am also applying to CA BON to endorse my license and I don't know where to start. Did you apply to the board forst and then send the forms to Nepal? Did they say anytihng about Med/Surg requirements? Any information is appreciated. Thanks

Hi There, Here's my story: it took me 3+ months to finish reading Saunders cover to cover (excluding pharma). Well that explains I was not serious about the test/study, then I thought it was about time i schedule my test, because that would be the only way to get me on track! so scheduled test and then studied like crazy for a month (15 hrs a day), completed Saunders second time, did questions fron kaplan question trainer (1-7) from internet, did questions from NCSBN question bank (online review $50) and completed 50% of PDA, did 200-300 questions from NCLEX 3500!! I did not pay much attention to pharma, just read the most imp drug, classificationm suffix/prefix and most imp/adverse side effect! I had no time to complete all those qustions from the resources I had in 1 month! so took the test after 1 month and thankfully I passed. what I think is you must have a solid content base in order to tackle the questions in the test, If you don't have, reading Saunders twice would certainly help you with that and then practice and practice as much qustions as you can! study hard and your hard work would certainly pay off. Best wishes to you :)

links for kaplan question trainers are all over internet! I did not take Kaplan review, did question trainers from internet! I paid for NCSBN review just to make sure I practice as different styled questions as possible. I can't say if it was helpful or not because questions that appeared on the NCLEX were quite different from NCSBN or Kaplan or 3500 or saunders! so I would suggest practice questions from as different sources as you can! And if you are not confident about the content (I was not) read Saunders twice! :)

Hey, I don't have answers to your questions at this time but I do want to say that we both share the same interest! I love Cardiology and I am open to any options that will ultimately help me work in this field! I recently passed NCLEX and got a job (not in Cardiology but ok) I plan to get few years clinical experience and then enroll in ACNP program! Best wishes to you :)

Actually I had the similar situation while CGFNS was evaluating my credential. In my case CGFNS sent a letter to my nursing school stating the problem and I also called my school and told them about what was needed! then they sent the listing of theory and clinical hrs of each subject from syllabus. At first they had sent transcripts where only marks were listed so I had to go through this process again! hope it helps! Best wishes for the registration process! :)

Congrats!!! :)

I am not sure about that! but that should be too,,,I got mine in less than 24 hrs!

hi WorldTravelingYogi do not panic! going to a good school is certainly a good thing but it doesn't determine how you will do in NCLEX! i am saying this coz I am a foreign graduate, we studied the same textbook as you did but other than that everything was different...even our test were subjective type!!! why I am saying this all is because hard work is the key to success.....I graduated 2 yrs back...studied and studied for this test for 2months and I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday, stopped at 75 and today found out I passed in my 1st attempt!! do what you can and need to do from your side...rest leave it to god! If I can do...you can too! best of luck,,,,write to me if you need any help/tips with studying! and best wishes! :)

OMG it's real! took NCLEX-RN yesterday(10/19)...was so freaked out!!have been doing PVT all day and night,,and getting good pop-up....but that was not enough to ease me! woke up this morning and again tried PVT, got the same old good pop up. then wanted to check BON website in case they have my name and guess what it is there..wow...Kansas BON is just so good..so fast! :) will share my experience with you all later coz everyone planning to take NCLEX need to know how the test is! I did not find it anywhere near to what i had expected it to be...so I will share my journey,stay tuned! thanks allnurses for your great support! and i m soooo happpyyyyyyy :)

hey did you try PVT? I took my test this morning(10/19) tried PVT got good pop up felt good but then found some posts indicating a different/new pop up!! all confused coz that good pop-up is the only thing that is giving me hope...otherwise the test was like what I had never expected!!!!!

Dear NRSKarenRN, Thanks a lot for your input and this information makes me think again. I am sitting here searching and researching about how to make, what to include/exclude in resume. here's one more thing that is confusing me, should I include any projects I have done. For example, I translated a public education booklet on Neuroscience in my native language for International Brain Research Organization in 2011. Do I include that project? Actually CV is needed to apply for a job in my country so making a resume is confusing me a lot!! thank you so much for your time and input in advance. :) nirj

Dear caliotter3, Thank you so much for your prompt reply. It took months plus hard work and dedication to complete the research so I surely want to include it. And from what you suggested it seem to be a good idea to include it! Thanks a lot :)

Dear All I need your help. I am a foreign grad planning to take NCLEX in few weeks. So here I am trying to make my professional resume and what I am concerned about is weather I should include the research I did as a patial fulfillment of BSN curriculum or not? I don't see any resume including this part here on allnurses and other samples but it is a kind of norm to include research paper(performed during BSN) in resume in my country. so all confused now. Any idea or suggestion is appreciated! thank you so much for your time and input in advance! :) nirj
