  1. Passed NCLEX COVID 2020- short notice

    And the BRN website is inaccurate on their times for processing applications. I got my ATT on Aug 24 and yet on BRN website said they were processing applications from May 1-15. I applied June 08 so was initially very discouraged but now relieved it’...
  2. NCLEX stopped at 60 Qs/ no PVT/ no Quick results/ can't sleep

    I took the exam Sep 10 at noon in Culver City, got the “good” pop up 2 hours later and this morning, 40 hours later, on a Saturday, I looked up my license on the BRN website and there it is! Yay CA for not dragging their feet on this ?
  3. Test shut off at 60, "Bad Pop-Up".... Still Passed

    You need to put in all the accurate credit card info (except maybe expiration date) and then it’ll either charge you (which you need to retake the exam anyway so not sure why people stress unless they truly don’t have the money in which case why not ...
  4. NCLEX stopped at 60 Qs/ no PVT/ no Quick results/ can't sleep

    I took it on 9/10 at noon. I did the PVT trick and got the good pop up. I’ll do Quick Results when they’re available. I got around 12 SATA, 2 pics and the second 1/2 of the exam was way harder than the 1st half- lots of diseases I’d never heard of. ...
  5. Passed NCLEX COVID 2020- short notice

    Booking out until October! I just finished nursing school, don’t have ATT yet and really hoping they open up more centers. We’ve been doing ATI for weeks and don’t want to have to wait 4+ months. Thanks for the tips & sharing your experience
  6. 2018 Nurse Salary

  7. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    I met with the nurse at PCC Student Health Services and she signed off on my drug screen & TB - I just uploaded the results to CastleBranch so it's pending., guess I'll find out on Monday. Regarding the uniforms, I ordered from Dove Apparel in M...
  8. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    For CastleBranch, has anyone had an issue with them accepting the AHA BLS card. I got my "card" electronically, I submitted and it was returned saying they needed "front and back, with signature". Has anyone else had this problem?
  9. Pasadena City College ADN Program

    I don’t know if this helps but I had 73 points going in, I needed to take 3 classes worth 5 points each. I killed myself taking 2 classes online before I applied and that bumped me up to 83 and I got in. I’m hoping to get into the 3rd class now so I ...
  10. Pasadena City College ADN Program

    Is it one set or two sets of scrubs?
  11. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    Are we allowed to purchase the white uniforms elsewhere? If so, where are you getting yours?
  12. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    I left a higher paying industry to go into nursing. I wanted to do something more meaningful. It hasn’t been what I expected. It’s not awful, I guess I just wish I’d known what I know now and stayed in my original industry. Sadly that shipped sailed.
  13. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    From someone who’s lived in LA for a long time, trust me on this, make sure it has AC. Over the past 3 years, I’ve used my AC more than I did the past 15 years combined so don’t believe anyone that tells you A/C not needed. Rents haven’t really cha...
  14. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    I’m working full-time (8-5, M-F) and plan to continue with that at least through the end of August. After that, I’m not sure what I’m going to do as I doubt my work will keep me part-time. I’m thinking about home health or hospice maybe. Duong.Karen1...
  15. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    Nothing received today.
  16. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    Thank you & fingers crossed you get in this semester!
  17. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    I calculated my score as 83. I'm not sure what the cut off is or if it's decided 100% on scores. What did you apply with?
  18. Pasadena City College LVN to RN

    Hi! I applied as well! In past threads the timeline given to expect a response was 10 weeks. Not true this time around - I heard back 8 days after I applied. Ladies & Gents, check your email daily! ?
  19. Just completed RN to BSN less than 6 months

    THANK YOU!!! This post is so valuable! I was all but about to give up on planning to go for my BSN after all the hell it took to get into an LVN-ADN program (which I start this June). I am a quick learner. For the haters, I took Dev. Psych and Nut...
  20. Pasadena City College ADN Program

    Applications are due Feb. 28. Does anyone know what the points cut off are, or is it determined once all the applications are in? i haven’t taken Speech yet so I lose 5 points right there ... trying to find it online now
  21. Pasadena City College ADN Program

    I’d email the counseling department. They have some conflicting information (at least on the LVN-RN Bridge program). I’m applying this month and I don’t have any Physical Activity unita but hoping it’ll be pretty easy to squeeze those in somewhere.
  22. Rio Salado, is it really that bad?

    If you are out-of-state you fill out a proctor request and you can take the exams at a local community college or university
