I graduated last March in the philippines with a BSN degree and right now, I'm waiting to take the nclex in California. It feels like forever. I want to work while waiting, though...because CA BRN says it may take 3-6 months to process applications... what kind of work can i possibly apply that's in-line with nursing? can i do LVN?

No you can not work as LVN as you also need to go through the process and take NCLEX. I don't think you can work in the nursing field without passing classes/exams
