Ty everyone. I just got it in the mail. Whole process takes about 6 weeks now. Take care!!!

Thank you everyone for ur responses!!!

Actually I'm done with everything, just waiting for my license. It takes about 2.5 months , after the board receives ur application, to get ur package. Once u do, u can register on Pearson and take ur test as early as the next day if u want and if dates are available. Then it takes about 4 weeks to get ur results. once u pass, then u sign that paper and send it along with another $150 back to the board. Then u have to wait 4-6 weeks for ur name to show up on the web.

I live in CA. They are taking forever.

Anyone know how long u have to wait before getting ur actual license once it's posted on the board? Ty

This is a good problem to have. Just pick one and follow thru without regrets. Every step u take from now on will be ur learning curve. Trust yourself!!! No one knows u Betta than u! Good luck.

I started with an agency, u wont make what ur worth but it will get u your year of experience. open ur black book and call everyone u know and ask if the place they are at is hiring or do they have a friend that has a place that is hiring. Try applying in person, and follow up. The best secret is to never give up. Good luck!!

My only advice...get a hold of everyone you know in the industry and ask them for help. It seems like more and more everyday now it's all about hookups!!! I also heard that rather than applying online try to apply in person. Also job fairs are likely better than just applying online. Good luck!! For me I started with an agency...

If you have the ability to get your license, you will do fine.

Ur mom is correct, go RN! It's better and more $$, good luck!

Yes, that's correct. This is what I'm going thru as of now.

I recently saw your thread and they are asking for another $150 for the licensing. They mail you your passing letter and u sign and date and send it back along with the check. It's a new thing cuz CA is broke!!! FYI

Thank you

Hello fellow nurses, I've just received my license but it seems like everyone wants a year of experience. What am I to do, so unfair. Anyone in LA California know of anyplace taking new grads? Please help.

I just graduated and everyone wants a year of experience. Any suggestions on who will hire a new grad? Anything will help!
