Its a level 2 or 3 trauma center that is located in kind of sketchy area off the 59 freeway, you'll get lots of trauma experience like gsw, stabbings and stuff, its a very busy ER but good things I heard

anyone know how long the ink fingerprint takes once they send it to the justice department? I sent my fingerprints in early June and the BON just sent out my card to the Justice department on September 2, I will be going to Cali next week so should I do the live scan to speed the process?

Depending on hospital you are with but in general they are hiring everywhere, the good hospital systems are Methodist and memorial hermann

If you do not have a social security the California BON will not issue you a license

thanks for the tips guys, I wouldnt mind working in the IE or OC as long as I am situated in the LA area, I will look into those hospitals, but my god getting the California License is taking forever

I have about a year and a bit of experience working in the ER at a reputable hospital in Houston Tx. Looking to make a move to California in a couple of months and wondering how the job outlook is Southern and Northern California particular in the Los Angeles area and the Bay area. In addition I am a male nurse if that makes a difference.

I am curious to know how long are your breaks and how many breaks do you get? I currently only get a 30 minute break in a 12hour shift and just wondering is this even legal

how long do you stick with your preceptor for? Did they say that you would be working mostly night shifts after you finish your internship with your preceptor?

I CANT BELIEVE MY EYES, BUT I PASSSSSSSEDDDDDDDD!!!! WOOHOOOOO I finally checked my results today after writing it on Feb 5 because I was so scaried and thought I failed it Just to let everyone know I am a first time writing educated in Canada I used Hurst Review, studied religiously, Kaplan strategy book, and LPA I went through 265 questions seating there for 6 hours Good Luck to everyone and be confident when doing the exam

Today I write my NCLEX at 8am. Words cant described how devastated I am after finishing my exam doing 265 questions in 6 hours with only 2 seconds remaining. I rushed through the last 4 questions just guessing so that I could finish it the entire exam and not getting the last 60 marked if unfinished. I used the Hurst online review and did all the Qreviews with an average of 88/125. I went through the video and prep books very thoroughly and I felt very confident in the content, but I just felt that the hurst content did not help me at all during the exam. I had so many weird medication questions that I had no clue of. I also used the Kaplan strategy guide and did all the questions in the back. Felt their strategies did not help me at all In addition I did majority of the questions in the Priority and Delegation book. In the end I felt like a lot of the questions that I had to guess on because I had no clue what the drug/diseases were. I had a tone of priority questions, barely any delegation, about 20-30 SATA, 4 EEG, 2 Exhibits, 1 diagram, 3 calculations, 15-20 medications. I am highly doubting myself that I passed as I just wanted to cry leaving that room. I don't even feel like checking my score after 48 hours. Would like to know the people who passed, what strategy or prep guides that you think prepared you well for the NCLEX because I am for sure that Hurst's content helped me only 30% of the exam. I just don't know how to start studying again or what I should use any help is appreciated

yea I feel the hurst questions were more psychosocial compared to sanders which was very patho

Will be taking my exam on Thursday and am extremely nervous finished the hurst qreviews averaging around 88/125. I just used the hurst review for my studies and am wondering from those who took Hurst if it prepares you well for the NCLEX

Good luck on your exam!!!!! let me know how it goes are you writing it in Canada or the US?

Hey guys, I am a Canadian educated nurse who will be taking the US NCLEX. I recently was unsuccessful in my Canadian nursing exam and feel pretty bummed out. Trying to get out of this hole and now focus on the NCLEX. Need some advice from fellow NCLEX takers. I currently enrolled in the HURST Review (online only) and I have watched all the lectures and filled out the worksheets. Havent started with questions yet. I also have the Kaplan Strategies book as well as PDA book that I have not went through yet. I am planning to take the NCLEX in the beginning of February. Just wondering if the resources I have are sufficient for the NCLEX. I am hoping to pass this the first time and move on with my nursing career. Failing the Canadian exam has been very hard on me.

I was unsuccessful in passing the June 2014 CRNE...I think my weakness was that I was extremely nervous the night before the exam where I could barely sleep. I think I only slept for like 2 hours max and when doing the exam I felt very unfocused and nervous. I was reading the questions into too much detail which confused me. I did all the CNA questions and felt very comfortable with them. I am planning to retake the CRNE in October and looking to take a prep course. Wondering if anybody can give some feedback on the UofT prep course and the Primededucation. Both are a 2 day intensive course and seem to be very similar in terms of their schedule. Thanks
