The trick does work. I'm now a registered nurse. Happy tears!

SATA = Select All That Apply :)

You're doing it right. :)

Try the trick as soon as your status says "Delivered Successfully." I tested Thursday, June 11 and it took several hours for it to say that. I live in CA, so I am still waiting for official results, but this is at least keeping me sane. Good luck!

I'm not expecting anything for a week at the very least. They're probably swamped with all the new grads testing right now.

I think "ready for delivery" means they have your result but have not yet sent it to your BRN. I believe "Delivery successful" means your state BRN has received your result. When I tried the trick yesterday the status said "ready for delivery" and t...

There's a whole giant thread on it. :)

I don't know how long it takes. I have classmates who tested 9 days ago and their names still aren't up. I was talking to some people from another school and they were saying it seemed to take 2 business days for names to appear on the BRN site. I...

If CA participated in Quick Results I'd be all over that.

I'm praying they're all right too! I took NCLEX today and would be a mess without that trick. I'm in CA and our state does not participate in Quick Results, so we're out of luck until our names come up on our BRN website.

Here's the link for the CA BRN permanent license verification.

I took NCLEX this morning and got 75 questions. I am in California and our BRN website says it takes 2-4 weeks to be notified via mail of the results. As everyone knows, CA does not participate in the QuickResults so I was very thankful for this li...

You have to check the websites regularly. The nurse recruiter at Mercy San Juan told me that Mercy Methodist, Mercy General, and Mercy Folsom don't have set dates for their new grad programs and so add positions here and there. 500 people applied, ...

Congratulations! I had my final yesterday and our pinning ceremony is Tuesday. It's a very exciting time, isn't it?

Also, I would recommend not waiting until you graduate to apply. Even if jobs descriptions specify experienced nurses, apply anyway. If they don't get enough experienced applicants, most places will consider new grads. Don't forget about county or...

I'm in Sacramento, CA and the market for new grads is tough right now. We have about 7 nursing programs within 45 minutes of the Sacramento area. Almost all of the hospitals are hiring but they want experienced nurses. I think there are areas of t...

At the end of our final semester we do a 72 hour preceptorship. It's something our program has only been doing for the past year. I'm really enjoying it. It feels strange not to be at the hospital for "clinicals" on my regular Tuesdays and Wednesd...

Woo hoo! Congratulations! I'll keep this in mind when I take my boards this summer. :)

Even if we're required to go to the last day of clinical lunches (because they count as clinical hours), we are not required to order anything. I've known since first semester what the options are for the pinning ceremony (cap and gown or whites and ...

In our 4 semester ADN program it was 80% until this semester. They now require 90% but there are 3 retests after remediation. We have a dosage calc test every semester and we also have math questions on every exam. It's kind of an important thing!...

My program allows students to leave for a semester if they are experiencing a hardship of some sort. People have left due to family illness, pregnancy, spouse losing job, etc. The program then readmits them to the same semester they were in when th...

Before I started first semester we had to get 2 TB tests, administered one week apart. Go someplace else and get another one. My school provides them for a small fee.

I started a year ago at ARC and the youngest person we had in our class turned 21 a month into the semester. The drug test is a urine test and must be done at certain facilities - they'll give you the information about cost and where you can have it...

I'm still in school, but our instructors are very clear when they tell us to never do anything outside our scope of practice. That includes once we're RNs. I'd offer to get the doctor new gloves, if necessary. You're putting your license in jeopar...

I make notecards from the PowerPoint presentations and I study those. I find that writing the information forces me to pay attention and it stays in my head better that way.
