I quit my other job cause snf can be really tiring. I focused on the flu clinic and made myself always available. I was working 5-7 days 8-12 hours and they send me to other locations as well. It will all pay off. Good luck and thank you!

I was diligent and showed my manager that I was worth keeping as feedbacks from them is a big thing. Make sure you make a lot of hours so when you apply for internal positions you have a chance. Once the contract is almost over i started applying to the internal positions and got lucky. Almost all of us in our team got in. It would really depend on your performance.

UPDATE: I got in at CSUSB for my Medsurg and OB for this summer! God is good!

Do you know any schools in SoCal? Are you IEN as well?

Gozp do you know any schools in SoCal?

Thank you steppybay. Yes I have read this before, which is why I decided to just repeat the program since I don't think there's any way the BRN will lift this restriction.

Did you take deficiency classes? Where??

Here in CA there are schools that offer Entry Level MSN. Designed for people who has a bachelors degree in a non nursing field, makes you eligible for NCLEX then when you get your license you would continue finishing with a MSN degree.

Hi everyone! I would like to post my current situation as I would like to hear different point of views especially from my colleagues. I am a foreign BSN grad, moved to CA with my husband, and like thousands of internationally educated nurses I was denied eligibility due to concurrency issues. It felt as if my life was put on hold. There are days that I am just so speechless, thinking of ways on how I could comply with my deficiencies. With that, I took the LVN route instead. Currently I am working at my dream institution that as people would say, is so hard to get in that you would need to have tons of experience before you could get in but in my 4th month of being an LVN I was given a chance to work for this institution. As days passed by I still felt that something is missing in my professional life. Needless to say, deep inside me I still would want to pursue my RN license. I searched and searched for schools near me but to no avail. Had calls from a faraway school to retake my deficiencies but I cannot afford to resign at my current job and take a loan of almost 30,000 to be able to fulfill one of the two deficiencies I have (MS and OB). With that I made the toughest decision in my career, to retake the program. With the community colleges having their own curriculum they were only able to give me credit on one gen ed subject that I have. Other than that I have to take them all over again. Makes me sad, I am already 32 years old and thinking that I would have to do all of these over again exhausts me. However, it is better than waiting for the Boards to miraculously change their decisions regarding IENs, in which by the time they do that, I might have finished the program already. I know God will not give me any challenge that I cannot fulfill, for I know He is with me. Thank you for reading this! And thank you for letting me vent!

Hi I just sent you an email...

Hi! So did your friend finish the LVN to RN? Im curious if some of her nursing classes got credited or did she have to take all the nursing classes. How long did she do it? Is she an RN now? Thank you in advance!
