I have an interview for Norco, but also interviewed for the prison in Chino. How are you liking Norco? I don't know what to expect

Thanks for the reply! I have tried to find a list of the prerequisites that California has for the RN, but haven't found anything on the BON website so what I did was look at the the pre-reqs for California rn programs and went off that.

Hi everyone, I am a soon to be graduate hoping to get my RN in California. I am not sure what is the best route to take. Should I test in Arizona where I am attending school and endorse my license to California or should I just directly apply for California? What would be faster? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Hello! I am wondering when you apply prior to graduation, do you leave the end date empty on the application? Do you recommend applying online over snail mail? Thanks in advance :)

Good idea, thanks again!

Thank you so much for the quick response! That really helps. I will do a hard copy application then. How long before you graduated did you submit your application? And when you graduated and had your transcripts sent in, how long did it take for them to be evaluated? Thanks again and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Hello everyone! I am set to graduate from an ADN program in Arizona and am wanting to get licensed in California. I am attempting to complete my RN Initial Exam Application because I saw that they recommend you register prior to graduating as it takes so long, but when it ask my end date/graduation date and I put December of 2015 and it says it does not accept future end dates. Am I going about this wrong? I am confused as to how you can apply prior to graduating the program if it doesn't accept future end dates. But I am probably missing something that's why I am asking :) Also, if someone could just clear things up for me. If I graduate December and have my transcripts submitted then, does it take 4 weeks for the transcripts to be evaluated meaning I won't be able to take my nclex until around January-February? And then after that you have to wait some time to receive your license right? Sorry to have so many questions! I just have no idea what I am doing. Thanks for the help!! Have a good day everyone.

Thanks for putting an update! I just googled "will being an LPN during nursing school help me land a job?" and this post came up! I am finishing my 3rd semester of an ADN and was offered a job as an LPN that will last until I graduate in December. So I won't have a year, but its still some experience and am hoping it helps me get a job when I graduate. Its nice to read your story and to see that being an LPN helped you! Thanks for sharing :)
