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!

Well, it doesn't really matter when u graduated, it only matters when ur school mailed in ur paperwork. I'm in CA and it took about 2.5 months after the school sent in paperwork. Once You get the go ahead from BON u can register with pearson and pay the $200. after u will get ur receipt and ATT within minutes. Testing dates will be available right away if u want or u can register for later days. Hope his helps

Pvt is very accurate when the good pop up appears. However, if u get the cc page, u still have a chance. BON has a chance to review ur exam and just pray they saw something diff than Pearson. There are instances that the cc comes up and people still pass. Pray!!!!

Pvt still working!!! For those who are waiting this will give u early result!

I took mine 7/12 just got results today, so 3 weeks for me. Ca nclex

Took my board July 12th, did the pvt and got the good pop up. Received letter of passing today aug 1st! 3 weeks later. Pvt still rules!

Saunders is great...concentrate on the Alternate questions!!!!! Signs and symptoms, and lab values are a must! Good luck! Do about 50 questions a day and u will be fine, read all rationales even though u got the questions correct. Guaranteed success!

I wrote to them and yes they are behind, this is what they said, "Cashier is working on application fees received on 3/5/13. Then the evaluators are working on evaluating school applications received on 1/28/13."

I emailed them to check, they have no link for us. If we want to check on status just email as well, [email protected] they respond pretty fast.

Thnx a bunch!
