San Bernardino county (approx 1 hr from LA) have a lot of SNF/ ALF, and they usually hire new grads. Good luck

I paid aug 24 and i havent see my name yet 2 wks ago I drove to sacramento just to get the temp license so i can start to make money

hi tameen, your congrats letter will tell you how to register and pay via breeze or via mail. go to BreEZe - State of California and register, it's on the lower right side of your computer screen. Congrats on passing!!!

Hoping the best for you cjman24 :) dont give up :)

hi scrub smurf...i did mine 4hr, 12hr, 24hr, 48hr, and if im not mistaken i also did the pvt, thursday the same week of my test (i took the test mon), and it still gave me the good pop up. I never read that people fail after they receive good pop up (maybe i missed that post). But i heard some people got the bad pop up, had to pay, and found out later on that they actually pass. And the money ($200) it's non-refundable. But i never said the PVT is fool-proof...because it's only a trick. I only said that the PVT works for me. I read that u r not suppose do the pvt right after the test, but i dunno. And that's why i checked mine 4hr post test. :)

Thank u Tameen...u got this...did your school use ATI? we use ATI, and I personally like ATI. i never use uworld...i only used free app on iphone, i forgot the name, but it has 5000 questions. everytime i have free time i use it.

really?! i will let her know. one of my classmate planned to go to sacramento and applied for the interim license (she already passed), because she already got hired as LVN, but she have at least 1 week (she's orientating right now) to have the license on hand. good luck on the IV/blood withdrawal. our class took the IV/blood with 2 wks after our last day of lVN school. let us know when u received your letter. i believed u pass...PVT works

Ikr...most of friend got the letter 9 days after test. I paid it online. But 1 of my classmate, she's the 1st one from our class that took the nclex, she paid hers on 7/28 and per 8/29 hasn't got her license card and we still cant see her name yet on breeze website... Good luck on yours @cindy16 �� and for me the pvt works. I used my valid cc, i jus changed the year on the expiration date, and i got the good pop up. I tried it 4hr, 12hr, 24hr, and 48hr post test, and all of them gave me good pop up

Hi tameen, i took mine a week before u (8/15) @ 0800. My computer screen died after i finish question #85. I received my letter 8/22. Some of my friends (from that 7 people) received their letter 8 days after test, some a week after. 1 of the girl took it @ redlands, she have to answered all 205, and she passed.

Hi...if u ask the pearson people they would not encourage it...i have 7 of my friends use the pvt, everybody got the good pop up, and everybody received the passing letter from bvnpt. I used my active credit card but i changed the expiration date. All 7 of us are taking nclex pn here in ca. And btw u cant check the breeze website if u haven't pay the $150 after u received your passing letter. Where did u take your nclex cjman24? I took mine @ontario. i hope u pass

thank u for answering my questions :) wow that's a long time...2 mos :) were u able to work as an LVN before your card arrived? My DON won't allowed me to shadow the LVN while I'm waiting for my card. Mind you I'm applying at my workplace, I'm a CNA here for 4 years. I applied for my initial license on aug 24.

I have a question for OP, how long after you paid $150 for the initial license u received your physical license card and how long did you see your name on breeze website after you paid the $150? Because I have a friend who paid the $150 via breeze website on Jul 28 and she still cant find her name on breeze website (per Aug 29). Thank you

i just wanted to add to all these great advice... document, document, document...it is important to protect yourself, esp when you see new condition e.g. new redness on the skin or new bruises...report to your charge nurse or LVNs and make sure you document it, so u wont be blame if the redness becomes bed sore...if residents refuse care due to their condition e.g. alzheimer pt. or combative pt. you also have to report to your charge nurse and document it...LVNs are your best friend...and teamwork..help each other and you would be okay :) just do unto them as you want others do unto you :) good luck :)

I think it's after the class start.

Mine are 7 and 5 but my youngest done with her class by 11:30 so i need childcare between that time till im done with my class.they hv childcare at school but it's a little bit expensive,so im hoping i will get disc since we will be 1 income family. I'll be using private loan,paying from our own pocket,so i dont need to see ms. Nadine. Are you up2date with all of your immunization? There r lots of things i need to do a little bit overwhelmed, i still cant believe im going to do this :)

Yay!!! Btw,how old is your oldest? Are u putting them in a day care when u start class? What is your plan for daycare?

Hi Jen...I will see u Jan. 20th sooooooo excited!!! Cant wait to start a new chapter of my life

Wow!!!!congrats Jen!!!!yay!!!big hugs to u i havent check my mailbox..will get back to u :) wish me luck

What do you mean by CA state board way? I think you have to combine the skills videos and the skills that you read from the small blue book that you got from your cna program,the one that have all the steps for skills test.i found this website School of Nursing: Skills Videos - Santa Barbara City College, i hope you find it helpful.

I think it's fairly easy to find a job as a cna in california. California is almost like Florida, which most of time have warm weather, this condition made senior/ elderly reside/ retire here. I think you'll find a lot of nursing home and alike, esp in the desert area, i.e. palm spring, inland empire. You can also get yourself certified for hha (home health aide) that way you can cast a wider net into hospice, agency, or home health provider. Also dont be too picky for your first job, apply anywhere, just to get the ball rolling :) good luck to you

Hi...you can find lots of videos from youtube.just search cna skills test for california.or you can always google them.best of luck to you :)

You and I have different situations :) I'm glad everything works out great for you :) my bachelor is not from usa, i took it before i moved to usa,so i dont think i can do credit transfer for subjects i already took from my bachelor program.so yeah,also i dont think i can do 2-4 years of school,again....lol...but l'm just going to wait and see...i really do hope cry rop is going to accept me, cna in ltc is a hard core job with a wonderful reward (not financially).

I have a friend, she took classes at crafton too. Her name is Amy, she work as a cna in linda valley care center.but yeah there's a lot of people there lol

Right now our finance and my children's schedule are not in the right place for me to take pre-req classes.im only working part time right now.cry rop is the only place that i can work around my kids schedule.and i want to take babystep. It's been 11 years since i graduated from my bachelor.and im new at the medical field.so i'll probably wait for next year and gain another year of experience :) i cant take private school it's too expensive :) i really really hope i can get in this year. Im afraid my brain wont cooperate with ne next year LOL :) let me know your result i cant wait :) best of luck to you, Jen :)
