Great, thanks for your opinion!! I'll keep it all in mind as the time approaches.

NurseMischa, What would you suggest I do? I am thinking it might be better to just test in my home state, Illinois but am not sure what is the "best"/most efficient option here.

Fair enough, Thank you Rose_Queen for your facts. I guess what I'm asking here is more for advice. With all of this stuff coming up at one time, would you take your NCLEX in your home state and then move or would you move and then take your NCLEX? If I take my NCLEX here and pass, how long does it take for my paperwork to go through? And then I have to transfer my Illinois license to a California license which I'm sure is a process in itself?

So... my life is about to get way more hectic than I ever planned. I graduate with my BSN in December. Then, I have to take my NCLEX (or so I think...this is where I need advice). My lease for my apartment is up January 31st. I have been planning on moving to southern California for quite some time, but didn't realize how fast this all would be coming up, until recently. That being said, I need some advice regarding whether or not I should take my NCLEX here or wait until I move. Is that even an option??? Or do I have to take it in Chicago? Is the NCLEX the same test nation-wide? I'm totally lost, and totally nervous. If I take the NCLEX here in Chicago, how would I go about getting my license in California? Bear with me here as I do not have much experience in this area YET! I have so many questions... but if anyone can shed light I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. Kindly, SLPLSSinSCRUBS

Demo24, I think so far you have taken the necessary steps needed to solve the issue at hand. That being said, did you try to unclog it? As others have stated, if you did everything in your power (which it so far seems you definitely did), then you will be just fine. You notified the physician twice which was awesome, and you were able to administer via IV. You documented properly, too. Nice job! I would have definitely taken this issue to the charge nurse as soon as I got no response the first time I notified the physician. In my eyes, there is not much more you can physically do for the patient. Best!
