Can I vent about how...
much I hate the state of CA and their slow ass procedures!!!
So after I took my NCLEX every piece of paper reads that it will take 3-4 weeks to get my results, but based on classmates getting their results it is taking almost 6 weeks to get results. ?Then supposedly another 3-4 to get your license.
Come on now, ?this is getting?ridiculous. I graduated from school in the end of june and it seems like I will not even be able to look for a job until the beginning of December.
I know I probably sound like a broken record, but I do want to help out with the expenses of our household and take some of the burden off my hubby. ?This is so not what I expected! ?Other states don't have separate licensing fees and paperwork, you send everything at the beginning and they do it electronically so you can see your license # online in about 2 weeks!
Stupid state procedures! ?Aren't we supposed to be technologically advanced??
Thanks for letting me vent!?
Re: Can I vent about how...
Bright side = at least you didn't take the CA Bar Exam, results take over 4 months to get!
Maybe it is taking longer because you scored so well
OMG Sara - so true! When I took the CPA, they offered the exam only twice, every May & November. Results took 90 days! WTF!
Jenn - you're right on the nursing shortage. It's too bad the process is so discouraging.
Michelle - I'm not familiary, but do you have to wait for your license (in-hand) before applying for work? What a pain!
Sorry. lots of hugs.
although, you might not want to vent on this board anymore... after all.. it is a public board. someone from your board exam might be reading or know someone who is reading and delay your stuff even longer.

ai!
Marina, so true, My screen name is far from my legal name. ?I don't even go by my legal name and that is what I had to use for my paperwork. ?Looney mom gave me a horrible name that she doesn't even call me! In fact it is a boy's name and I get a hard time about it all the time. HAHA!
As for the license in hand issue, I can check the web site daily, but my friend's name didn't appear on the web site with a license # until right about the same time she got it in the mail!
Stupid state sucks!!!?
As for the bar exam, man I would hate that wait, but if they tell you ahead of time and stick to the time frames that is OK. ?
My issue is that they give you time frames and they don't adhere to them.?
That is pretty ridiculous! I had my license within a week in Tennessee.
Can't you still look for a job? A lot of places (like UCLA where I work) will hire with an "interim permit" and you can orient and what not without actually having your license---and then you just jump into the job when you get it. But then if you don't, you aren't allowed to continue with the job.

Emily,
They only give an interim permit if you do not plan on taking the NCLEX for a while, because the interim permit takes almost as long to get as the license. ?I wish I could be doing something.
I asked DH if he wanted me to find something for the mean while, he said no don't worry about it. ?I would love to find something I could do 3 days per week that had decent pay.?
