Hi! I'm about to graduate here in 2 weeks but first I have to pass the ATI comprehensive test. We have 2 tries and then we don't pass the class. I'm hoping to pass on the first try, but was curious if anyone had any tips to passing the test? Thank...

Hi, I posted a question awhile back and wanted to update in case this could help others. I also have another question... I am graduating from WI and will be taking boards here. I need to endorse to CA, but have a *minor* past conviction (underage d...

I have been working in CA for 4 years now. I had to jump through a few hoops with the board, but it was OK and I got my license. In CA you have to report EVERYTHING, even minor traffic offenses! I think it took about 5 weeks and I had to get all s...

Hello all, I'm going to graduate in Dec and am being considered for several jobs on cardiac units. I did my initial screening on the phone with a recruiter and then will find out what managers I will be interviewing with and what floors. My quesion...

you sound like me...i'm testing thursday too:) i had the same question so i called pearson vue (it also says on your att) that just the first and last names must match. good luck!

I don't know, but I am in the same boat as you! I graduated on 12/14 and the paperwork should have gone out that Monday. I have been waiting for the email because I need to take boards ASAP! I hope it comes soon!

please add me to the list! i am going to be taking it at the end of Dec, I just need my ATT to schedule. will post when i know for sure. good luck everyone!

when i talked to the lady at the BON, she told me that it would probably only add about an extra week on to the process since the offense was minor and happened almost 8 years ago. that is what she said. all i can do at this point is submit my inf...

haha...i agree with the above poster. that, and i'm just burnt out! i have my final on wednesday and i'm having a hard time focusing. i'm more concerned about nclex right now. i'm taking the test as soon as i get my ATT, so i've been studying for...

I was just told that they would not give me a temporary license as a walk through in Sacramento...they will still issue a temporary after they review my documents. I can't start the process until after I take boards.

thanks! i took it this morning and with my score, it said i have a 99% chance of passing nclex. i hope that is right! so glad it is over though, one less thing to worry about now:)

Hi, I know there is a sticky on this subject and I tried going to the BRN website and I'm still confused. Hoping to hear from someone who has gone through the process... I'm moving to CA from Wisconsin in January as a new RN. I am taking boards in ...

Thanks so much Suzanne...that is exactly what I needed to know. I will start the process ASAP to ensure I don't have any problems obtaining the temporary license. Thanks everybody!

Hi, Sorry, I need to clarify (see this is confusing which is why i have to ask!). I have accepted a position in CA as a new grad. I'm taking NCLEX in my home state BEFORE I move to CA. I don't currently work as an intern or anything like that.

i don't want to take boards in CA because I want to take them before i leave. i was told that if i went to sacramento, then i could get my temporary license that day.

anyone have any recommendations? i don't want to spend more than $200... Thanks!

In my opinion, nothing really compares to the real thing. Get your steps and technique down, but it is all different when sticking a human vein. I once practiced on a piece of tubing that was taped down. Good luck!

I graduate in Dec also and have been offered positions on 2 different cardiac floors. I don't have any experience other than clinicals...so you can get in if you want to. You get so much specialized training, so I'm hoping I will learn fast. Good ...

YES! I have been looking online and it seems like many places are now posting their new grad jobs. I've already gotten a few calls. This is in CA and I'm looking to move there. It's not too early!

Anyone have any good info on new grad programs in San Diego? I'm doing all the reading I can, but it is always good to hear from others. I graduate in December and moving to San D from out of state. Any info from those who have "been there" would ...

How cold does it get in Wisconsin? COLD!!! There are days in the winter where things get shut down and people can't even leave the house because it is so cold. Can get down to -20 with the windchill. That is not to mention snow storms! Summer ca...

Heck no! I am also graduating in December and have already started contacting recruiters. Granted, I am planning to move out of state, but many of the recruiters have been very responsive and willing to offer information. Better early than late, o...

Hello, I am graduating Dec 07 and want to move to San Diego. I have contacted recruiters and applied to a few jobs online already. One recruiter asked if I had plans to come and visit. I could, but is it wise to do that not knowing if I have any p...

We have to have an 85% test average or else you have to retake the class. It is stressful...every point counts so much!

Hello all, i know there are many many posts on here but some are old so I thought I'd ask those RNs living and working in SD.... I am graduating in Dec and thinking of making the move to SD. Now I realize that the pay is not the greatest, but the ch...
