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! Can you share your experience as kaiser flu clinic nurse?

Hi! Im a new Lvn working at a convalescent hospital with 30-71 residents. Needless to say, I get frustrated at times. I have been working there for 3 months now. Recently I applied for a seasonal flu job in kaiser, I know its temporary so Im having a dilemma as to whether take the seasonal job or stay in the convalescent hospital. I have an interview for that seasonal job on wednesday. And I really want to be with Kaiser but I dont know if I will be accepted to other positions when that seasonal job has ended. Anyone here worked as seasonal flu nurse for kaiser? Pls give me your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

How long did you wait for BON response after submission? Did they make you submit clinical cases too?

Yeah i did it after a week of taking the exam cause Im so nervous. I got the good pop up

Yeah. Took it april 8. Got my results may 2 and I passed! Drove to Sacramento for 6 hrs to pay for initial license in cash on May 7 and now I'm waiting for my name to come up in the website and for the license to arrive in mail I dont know when...

Got my eligibility today! Waited 7 weeks

I just got off the phone with bvnpt and they said they are processing oct 16 applications as of now

Does this mean that if I take my Masters in the States even if I took my BSN in the Philippines then I will be eligible to take the NCLEXRN?

Ok so I just went to bvnpt and submitted my documents personally. They gave me the declaration of nursing form right away to fill it up, which means I don't have to wait for it be mailed to me. As of today, Dec 8, 2014 they are processing October 1 applications.

Thank you.. Will submit on Monday personally. I'm gonna ask them too what dates they are processing now..

what kind of envelope should I use to send my application? Is there a specific one or any will do?
