Is it easy to transfer my PA RN license to CA?

Well don't feel bad! I was in the 20th percentile in math the first time. The second time, it went into the 60th percentile. It's a fun game... not. But now you know what to expect and you'll do great the next time.

I didn't do so great the first time either. I started taking the PSB in august of 2012 and had to retake the math portion again in November 2012 to get into the fall 2013 start. Once that's over it's smooth sailing lol.

Also, working full time and going to nursing school is suicide. They don't recommend it.

I'm going to St. Margaret's but I was wondering if anybody has scheduled yet? I wanted to know days and hours, etc. Thanks!

Thanks guys! I start nursing school in Pittsburgh in September. I'll be in PA another two years. My boyfriend will be moving out there soon and I just wanted to know what everybody thought. I hope I will be able to find a job.

Ok, thanks! I wasn't aware I could just skip the test in PA and take the NCLEX in CA.

Also, I wouldn't have to take the NCLEX exam again?

But it's possible?

I will be graduating from UPMC St. Margaret school of nursing. What are the "qualifications" to get my license? What schooling qualifications will I need? Etc...

@vebb - it won't let me send you a message. Can you email me at [email protected] ?

Good luck! I also had to take the test twice. The studying wiped me out.

I took the Chatham course and my scores went up. The teacher had a lot of helpful tips. I don't think it was worth the money though.

St. Margaret's said I would get more info in July on my acceptance letter.

Does anybody know the exact day the schools start?

It's better to take an educated guess because they don't count the ones you got wrong. The scores are how many you get right.

Vebb, are you applying to St. Margaret's or did you just take the exam there?

Good luck! I had difficulty with the math. Once you pass the test you will be excited to finally get the application process going.

I was accepted into St. Margaret's :)

I have heard of the tuition forgiveness that they offer. I am really interested in that. I just applied to St. Margaret's so I know everything is similar. How long did it take for you to get your acceptance letter?

I'm taking the exam August 14th. Are there any tips that could help me study? Also, what are some examples that are on the test. I'm freaking out! I hope I do well on the exam.Thanks!

Sorry I didnt reply back sooner. I guess I didn't bookmark my thread. I used barron's the first time and the I also took the Chatham online course for the exam. I think that helped me on the second test the most. I just sent out my application. Good ...

I have to retake the math exam portion, I think. I haven't gotten my results yet. I am hoping to apply for the fall.

What did you guys do for the personal comments for the application at citizens? It states why I want to be a nurse, my future goals, and special reasons for going to citizens. Did you guys type up an essay or just write it on the paper supplied. Also...
