   Hey, sc0811. After trying to send you a longish reply, I got a message telling me I can't send PM's, that I need 15 quality threads or something. Nice feature. At any rate, I'll be more succinct and summarize the content here: Thanks for your advice!...

   May I ask what your specialty is and what agency you're going with? I've been talking with an agency that is quoting me pay rates in the $33-$35/hr + housing ($2000 stipend).

3. Older CSU Student 'fitting in' on campus

   SeanRN68 replied to LeapBaby's topic in California

   I attended Sac State over 20 years ago, where I got my degree in another field. But I did attend nursing school here in Texas later in life. I was 45 when I graduated and have been at it for a year. It was odd being both older and a male, one of prob...

4. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

   SeanRN68 replied to zornzo's topic in California

   Thanks, Perfexion and Rxwoman! I've been talking to a recruiter from Am Mobile and she tells me she will have no problem finding me an assignment in the Bay Area, and this is after only 14 months of RN med-surg experience. Kaiser seems to be the big ...

5. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

   SeanRN68 replied to zornzo's topic in California

   Hey all. Just an update. They cashed my check on Sept 4. And I got my Calif license today! And that was with finger-print cards (not live scan) AND with an arrest (w/ dismissal) that I had to explain. Got a letter last week telling me to expect a de...

   SeanRN68 replied to zornzo's topic in California

   Good news. I'm also endorsing from TX. BRN cashed my check on 9/3. Confirmed today my fingerprint cards came back cleared. The lady I spoke with still quoted me 90 days from the date the check was cashed. I'm hoping that's just their standard respons...

   Congratulations! I know when I log onto Breeze and see that license number I will shout out in exaltation. How long did it take you from check cash to endorsement? I have to put in two months notice on my apt and I have a recruiter I'm working with w...

8. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

   SeanRN68 replied to zornzo's topic in California

   For a couple of weeks mine said "pending" and under deficiencies it said "Education History Missing" (or something like that). Then a couple of weeks ago that disappeared. So I assumed they must have checked out my transcripts, which I had to send fr...

9. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

   SeanRN68 replied to zornzo's topic in California

   Same here, perfexion. And I am fully expecting my finger print cards to fail. Just the optimist in me. I'm in Texas but might as well be in Maine; not really drivable. Wanted to be in California by December, and I have a recruiter telling me she's g...

10. Say no to artificial sweeteners

    SeanRN68 replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in Endocrine

    Bikini season? But seriously, umm, well, let's see. When I said "kid," I didn't mean "child". I meant teenager. And the reason I drank it was because I wanted to drink soda and avoid the calories associated with sugary softdrinks! I played sports in ...

    SeanRN68 replied to sc0811's topic in Travel

    I'm a month or two away from my California license and am in the same boat as you. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and am dying to get back there. I've got a recruiter from American Mobile who calls me once a week to check on my license status....

12. Say no to artificial sweeteners

    SeanRN68 replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in Endocrine

    I've probably consumed a metric ton of aspartame since I was a kid, just in diet sodas alone. It wasn't until I got to nursing school that I heard anything about stroke risk. Since then I've switched to sucralose because it's cheaper than stevia. I w...

    You can do an admit or a discharge with the Navigator, which you will find on the left side bar down toward the bottom. The way I do it is I work my way down through the navigator and when it's complete, I go to "req [uired] docs", which you should b...
