I finally got my ATT after writing a very strongly worded letter to the Governor of California on August 11th via his website. I got a call from his assistant on August 12th that she had spoken with their contact at the CA BRN and were able to expedi...

Beckysue thank you for the kind words. I couldn't agree more that there seems to be this growing sense of entitlement among the "millennials" who are entering the workforce as new RNs and expecting to immediately be given health benefits and weekends...

I'm a new grad waiting to take the NCLEX, but once I get my first job as an RN, I expect to work nights, weekends, holidays, etc., until I get more experience and prove that I have what it takes to advance in the nursing field. I was brought up to be...

I'm in the same boat too! Applied in May and still waiting, checking the CA BRN website daily to check if the processing times have been updated. It's beyond frustrating and I'm trying to stay motivated and keep studying but it's getting more difficu...

What state did you submit your application to? I'm in California and the application process for new grads and those trying to endorse their license to CA is painfully slow. I graduated and applied in early May, paid the CA BRN and Pearson Vue and st...

Marri thanks for the helpful info, good to know! I'm still trying to figure out work and school so it will be great to have a say on hospital choice : )

I haven't registered yet but I checked out the required textbooks and omg! So many and so expensive, it would be nice to know which ones are absolutely essential and which we can do without.

Yay! Of course we can be buddies, so excited! ☺️

Yes! I got Hoag Hospital and UCI Med Ctr, So excited : )

Haha I know what you mean! They called me last week with the good news and everything I need to get done before orientation. Don't give up, there's still a good chance more spots will open up, I was shocked when they called me since i had just turned...

Got it, I figured they would need to give us a little extra time : )

My paperwork says the deadline is 7/28, I hope it's not 7/18 since I just found out last week that I was accepted! Yikes!

Thank you! I'm so happy : ) Good luck to those in the 2nd and 3rd pools, people are already dropping so don't give up hope!

I'm in!!!! Omg so excited and nervous at the same time! So much to do before orientation but I can't wait to get started : )

I checked with the nursing dept and it's 7 years for the 3 pre-reqs : )

Kellbell32 thank you so much for the update! I'm in pool #1 so I hope I still have a chance, they advised me to reapply just in case so I just dropped off another application for Spring of 2015 : ) Good luck to everyone who applied!

Congrats to those that got accepted! I'm in the 1st pool : ( A little bummed since I had good numbers going in, maybe cuz I haven't taken pharm yet? Anyone know probability of students placed in the 1st pool that got in? Either way I'll keep trying :...

Hi! I'm new to this forum and have been anxiously waiting for news as well, has anyone heard anything yet?
