I got my license in the mail todaaay !!!

in CA it takes 4 weeks . usually Exactly 4weeks (2-3 days give or take) then after you mail in your Licensing Fee it's Another 4weeks for your name to post on the BVNPT website. then a week to receive your Hard Copy License. Myself and a few other ppl on here have been keeping track when we receive everything , ( we all passed around the same time) .

did you receive your license Already ? I'm still waiting ..

I'm in SoCal to . Looking and applying to jobs 24-7 . mostly from Craigslist and indeed . I send my resume out to jobs maybe 10-15 times a day. still have about 4 Apps to return to Facilities (I was waiting for my License number to Post , & it posted yesterday morning yayyy) . what area are you in . I'm in the Long Beach area & Redondo beach area. there are ALOT of LTC & SNFs in long beach !

where in SoCal ? I'm in the Los Angeles area . what is your Registry called ?

MY LICENSE NUMBER POSTED !!!!! I'm soooo happy I checked this morning and it was there . @tammuning and @jakeroman86 your number should be posted soon ! hopefully next week . Yay us ! Sent my payment 11/18 & license number posted 12/20.

no unfortunately in California it can take up to 6 weeks for your license to post online & possibly another week to receive the physical license. It will be exactly 4weeks tomorrow that I have been waiting. I've tried applying but employers Verify your License online .

I went Monday-Friday 7am -3pm Campus when I had clinicals 1st term it was 6am-3pm 3rd term (the last semester) clinicals were 6am-5pm everyday , with 1 campus day. then after I graduated I had IV class every Saturday . we had some loooong hours, but clearly it paid off because im a nurse now.

@jakeroman86 tried to msg you back but it's saying your inbox is full. But No, I haven't received my License yet . Did you get yours yet ? I'm not sure how true this is but I've seen & been told your License comes before your name is posted to BVNPT. how true ?

woooww !!! Congrats . Lucky youuu . I hope mine comes that fast.. probably not . lol

DO NOT STRESS. lol kinda hard not to , I know . I took my exam OCT 4th, I passed , & am now waiting for my License to arrive -_- I'm here in California too . all I studied was Nclex-pn 3000 program (every single category). and Nclex Made Easy Book Q&A AND the 35 page Study Guide from off of here , BIGGEST HELP!!! It has cute rhymes and ways of remembering things. it has ALL the most important things you could have ever learned in nsg school. during Nclex I felt like I seen all the questions before. (because all I studied were Q&A from any and everywhere) it was pretty straight forward and nothing to really stress over.

just sent my License Fee out on Monday , so it'll be quite some time before I receive it in the mail (3-4wks) I've seen people apply for jobs and send their resume to jobs AND get hired , all before they even had their License in hand . Has anyone done this? I at least want to start sending my resume out , but I'm not sure what should be in my resume , I have a lot of Retail experience which consume my entire resume but its not relevant to nursing at all. is that supposed to go on there or should I take it off ? I am so confused, should I put the volunteer work that I did during nursing school that's the only experience I have nursing wise. Help ! TIA

Everyone pretty much wears running shoes, unless they are not in scrubs , From what u have seen.

Congrats ! you Passed !!!

it's ALMOST always the answer relative to the potassium level, it's not there for nothing. know your Values I had so many Q&A with potassium I bet all the answers relative to Potassium were right. it is a MAJOR thing to know. from everyday Med pass in a SNF to a Cardio or MedSurg Floor in a Hospital.

Pick the one that would Die First if you did nothing.

From what I have learned through School it is the Physicians Responsibility to explain the procedure and get it signed & the nurse is the witness. But in the Real world I've noticed the Physician Explains the procedure & the nurse is responsible for obtaining the signature, not sure if that's ethical or not ...

Heys guys quick update . so I decided not to even drive to Sacramento, since pp said that there was a chance an employer might not take the temp annnd that the Hard Copy Lic. will take just as long . which would be a waste of money for me to take that trip (iwould have rented a car for the drive). soo I mailed my Lic. fee on Monday hopefully I get it sooner than 3wks like a few ppl I know . we shall c , I'll return when I get my LICENSE & let you guys know the time frame.

New Southern California Licensed LVN & I have been looking at jobs since before I took nclex. EVERYONE Req. that 1yr. .. don't get me wrong I will still apply idc lol . but geeez , I feel New Grads are WAY easier to train & mold. vs. Vets that are set in their ways. Everyone makes mistakes weather New Grad or a 20yr experienced VN . Id like to start off working in a Sub Acute Facility. ER ICU Or L&D/peds are my dream jobs, probably won't happen till after I get my BSN tho. Any recent New Grads have Luck finding jobs in SoCal with this 1yr Requirement epidemic ? I'm over in the LA County Area .

Yes I did get my Letter . I PASSED !!!! I tried to post and let you guys no but it wouldn't let my post go through. I received my results on Saturday . I
