  1. California License - prereqs required by CA BON

    whiteorchid81 replied to kelsonsa's topic in General Nursing

    When you applied through license by endorsement in Cali were you denied due to not having the micro with lab? I can imagine that there are a number of nurses who have been told by CA BON of not having...

    whiteorchid81 replied to kelsonsa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Cali but currently live in Colorado. I graduated with my ADN this year. We planned to move back to Cali but I was advised by my RN friends that it would be best to test in the state you...

  4. Denver School of Nursing April 2017 cohort

    whiteorchid81 replied to rock hopper's topic in Colorado Nursing

    My advice for anyone starting at DSN is this, take it as it is and suck it up. It'll make sense after your first couple weeks. Keep in mind that the school has to accommodate around 700 students at a...

    Thanks for that info. It helped. But I also look at the NNAS thread. Seems like no one had any luck with NNAS. I really hope it gets better in 3 to 4 years when I can finally put my application...

    Thanks for the info everyone. I don't know the starting rate for RNs in BC but in Colorado the starting pay ranges from 23 to 28 an hour. $23 to 25 an hour at a hospital for a new grad. 26 to 28 an...

    What about having 2 jobs? I assume working casual or part time can sometimes be a problem financially. Do most nurses who are casual or part time have more than 1

  11. American RN wanting to move to Canada

    whiteorchid81 replied to whiteorchid81's topic in International Nursing

    whiteorchid81 replied to whiteorchid81's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you. I'll be sure to keep all of my documents. Since I am pretty much a new grad I still have all of my papers. And what would qualify as proof of employment in Canada? Here in the US we usually...

    We have RN to BSN programs here that can be completed as early as 6 months. These schools are done at the student's pace. I have looked up some of these schools and at a quick glance their nursing...

    whiteorchid81 replied to whiteorchid81's topic in International Nursing

    I see. I guess I will just have to wait and see what results are after I submit everything to NNAS. But before all of that I still need do my RN to BSN program. Hopefully I can find a school where I...

    Thanks for breaking it down for me. I tried researching this on my own but I didn't understand how the process of NNAS and college of nurses work. would you know if the NNAS has a guide to which...

    whiteorchid81 replied to whiteorchid81's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you. When you say competency testing does that mean a written test? Or is it just that NNAS is evaluating trasnscripts and documents? And are there schools in Canada that will take my RN...

    I'll be starting the ADN program at Denver school of nursing in October. I didn't want to go the BSN route because, to be honest, my GPA isn't that great. Yes, the tuition is pretty expensive but I...
