I just read on the Stanford career site that as of today they are taking applicants for a new RN training program and I have read that many of you are looking for such programs.
Good Luck!!
Same here. I do everything with my phone in hand and on loud. This wait is driving me crazy. I ate a whole nutela jar today. Good luck everyone. Eventually it will all work out. Right !?!?!?! You know the funny thing I thought the other day, is that I worked so hard to get into nursing school and I did everything above and beyond to assure myself a spot and when I got accepted I thought, that's it, all I have to do is learn and get through and become the best nurse I can. When I started NS, all you needed to get the RN job of your choice was a license and a temperature of 98.6F. Now looking back, getting into school, competing 1500 candidates for 40 spots is piece of cake compared to the competition there is to get a job. Oh well, this too shall pass. By the way, graduates of December 09, that have applied for Stanford, did you guys sit for the NCLEX yet?
I haven't even gotten my ATT yet let alone taken the N-CLEX. Even though my class finished finals December 21st and all grades were posted by the 23rd, the registrar didn't issue our statement of graduation until TODAY (January 25th). They're overnighting my transcripts to the CA Board, but there's a good chance I won't get a testing date until mid-February Our entire graduating class is up in arms because we may have to drop out of the running for March 1st start dates if the paperwork isn't processed quickly. The bureaucracy of it all is absurd.
Bummer. Good news is that once you get your ATT, you can schedule to sit for the NCLEX in couple of days so there might be a chance. I just got my ATT on friday and I am testing Feb 2. So it's not all lost yet. Just be flexible about where you sit for the NCLEX. I leave on the Peninsula and I'm testing in Oakland. Good luck!!

Hi, thanks!
I am a recent grad with a BSN (graduated 12/2009). The only experience I have outside of clinical rotations is some volunteer experience prior to entering nursing school.
Good luck in the future! It really is a waiting game up here in the Bay Area.
