CONGRATULATIONS! Even though I don't know you, I KNEW you could do it!

Nice job!!! Isn't it a relief?!? CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I got my license in CA this morning via the website! Woohoo!! I would appreciate appropriate props please :)

Nice! Thank you everyone for making this thread of props so long it spans two pages!! You love me. You really love me!! Good luck to those who are still waiting to either take the test or get their results!!!

Thank you!! I took it on the 19th, and found out on the 27th. I heard from my other classmates that our transcripts had been delayed, just so you know.

Thank you. And good luck Serenity! I'm sure you'll do fine!

I got a job at Marin General Hospital (about 10 miles north of San Francisco) on the evening shift (3p-11p) on the medical unit and I am being paid $43.81 ($39.xx base rate). I get full benefits. I don't necessarily agree with the whole 'high-cost-of...

CONGRATZ!!! You found out from Pearson? Not the BRN? Is that normal? Thanks, Jonathan

From searching around the forums on this site, the consensus is you have to wait about two weeks until it is posted the BRN website. Is that right? I took my exam yesterday and it cut off at 75. I'm not terribly worried (reading about all of your exp...

Thanks for the reply. Don't give up hope yet. A few people have said that their results have been held up due to some paperwork issues. You should give the BRN a call. I just now (as I am writing this) got a call from a classmate who said that our sc...

I am currently finishing up my ADN program and will officially be an RN by the end of this year. I live in california and know that I won't have too much trouble finding a new grad job right now due to the severe nursing shortage. However, recently ...

It's seems amazing to me to see such low salaries for nursing in certain states... If I'm not mistaken, California rates (especially in the Bay Area) are very high. Just out of curiousity, if you work in California as a nurse let us all know what you...

Has anyone volunteered in the Peace Corps as a married couple?!? I would love to hear about your experience... Jonathan

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate your honesty. The reason I wrote the question in the first place was because I had a feeling that might be a problem. However, so many people have told me otherwise I was wondering what state you work...

Thank you so much for all your replies. I really appreciate your input. The reason I'm not considering anything like Doctors without Borders, but am only interested in the Peace Corps is because other travel volunteer/work organizations require more ...

I agree with Latino I'm in 3rd right now and I'd have to say that 2nd was much harder (as far as workload). I don't know about 4th, but once you pass 2nd, you can take a nice deep breath!

I want to bump this post because I want to know also: Has anyone volunteered for Peace Corps as an RN? What type of project were you involved in? Was it a worthwhile experience? Thanks in advance, Jonathan

Hi everyone, I'm from Southern California planning to move to the northeast (specifically MA, CT, MD, PA, or VA) in December after graduating. I can't seem to find very much information on new grad programs in those areas. I know that's a large are...

I tell them I need to take their pulse and they usually relax while I count their respirations. This works great for me.

I am in third semester at GWC and I really like it. I mean I don't have any basis for comparison but I like the instructors (mostly) and the administration. From my experiences the LVN students are hit and miss (no offense guys :) ). I have also gott...

There are many hospitals offering new grad programs. The one off the top of my head, which is a very nice hospital, is St. Jude's. It's located in Fullerton. Hope this helps, Jonathan

At the risk of sounding repetative, I also want to work in the Emergency Room. Luckily I am in Southern California and they are hiring new grads into the ER.

>75% at my school is considered passing.
