@porkdumpling, It has been almost 9 months when you posted your experience. And you have good thread of comments. I am on the same boat right now. I only have 10 days left before my preceptorship ends. I have a feeling that I will end up resigning or worst be terminated. I was wondering what has been happening since then? Did you get a job? Did you bring up your experience in your resume/ interview? Have you moved on already? your insight would help me a lot in my dilemma. Thanks

as far as i understand, method 3 is intended for applicant with employment experience... Form 55A -12 -..."Board obtain verificationof employment and certification from the Registered Nurse (RN) Director or Supervisor that theapplicant has demonstrated the required knowledge and skills during the applicant's paid general dutyinpatient bedside nursing experience. I think Im on the right track. hopefully.

hi, we're on the same dilemma here. Are we suppose to follow method 3? I am following method 2 and send forms to my school ( forms on its way). but reading your comment here made me almost turn my chair upside down!.. I"m really confuse and feel dumb not knowing which exactly is the right one for me. graduated BSN april 2014 passed PNLE Jun2014

i would like to say that your thread is just so helpful to us TheAverageMan.. Kudos for you! Just graduated in Phil. April 2014. passed PNLE Jun 2014. Now, I'm planning to apply for LVN. his will be my guide to this journey of LVN. What method did you follow in you application is it Method 2 or method 3? I am following the Method 2 now: " Graduate of an Out-of-State School of Practical/Vicational Nursing. or should I suppose to follow Method 3 "Equivalent education and/or Experience" I've seen the list of requirements you've sumbmitted. seems same in method 2, am i correct? Thanks for your reply guys.

hi guys, please share or guide us on what you have been through during your CNA exam. You can save us from panic attack..=(. Anybody went to Northern CA Nursing Academy in Daly City for the exam? What should be done first: hand wash, gathering supplies, explain procedure ,privacy (to save time) or hand wash, explain procedure, privacy, hand wash, gather supplies ( more sterile) ? Should we just strictly follow the booklet they sent us California NURSE ASSiStANT handbook for the skills, no more no less? Appreciate your rply.

I appreciate that mvm2,thanks. what skills did u perform then?

thanks bradycardic, yeah I am expecting that though. thanks for the advice. btw, you said study all skills..was this mean only the listed skills on the brochure are the possbile skills to be perform? Thanks again. I'm starting to freak out.

what i meant was I applied for equivalency.. and my transcript was accepted I didn't need to take classes anymore instead take the exam right away ( or after providing fee, id, etc). Most CNA skills were taught during our 1st year in BSN which was not usually practice and given emphasis since then. Now, I feel like I am starting all over again practicing my own refresher course. Did you take yours at Northern CA Nursing Academy? Any feedback? Highly appreciated. thanks.

Hi nomad29, Planning to take mine this July. Hope you could share your experience with us. Panic starts as early as now since my fundamentals was 5 years ago. I'm kinda confuse what steps to follow because Red Cross and NNAAP have different steps ( some steps has, other one don't). Since the school you went for exam was a NNAAP affiliates ,I guess you reviewed basically the booklet they provide, ? I appreciate your kindness. thanks

Congratulations! You had your 1st step in Nursing career. I hope you can share your experience with me as I am about to take mine maybe this month. I'm starting to freak out, my fundamental was 5 years ago. I am planning to take mine at Northern CA Nxg Academy in Daly City. i browse the net and watch videos..kinda confusing because they have different steps. Did you follow/review the the one on the booklet from NNAAP? Thanks. really appreciate it.
