hi there! i'm a BSN graduate from an internationally accredited school in Nursing and came here in the US to launch my career. since i have no experience yet & my results in the nclex exam that i took just recently hasn't arrived yet i feel like i'm wasting time at home when i should be gaining work experience by now. i'm concerned that i can't get into any other jobs because i don't have a license yet and since i took the test already my IP permit can't be used as well. i want to know what jobs i could get into in the meantime, help!

Wish I could help but don't have a clue as to what to tell you because I'm not that far yet. I'm sure there will be someone on line who can give you some good advice. Hang in there!

How long ago did you take the NCLEX? You should get the results in a few days. Did you apply for a nursing license in the state where you live? Have you applied for a temporary permit? Most states allow graduates of RN schools to work provisionally (90 days typically) until their NCLEX results come in.

hello! its been 2 weeks since i took my exam, no results yet though. i was informed that i would take about 4-6 weeks to arrive by mail though. how long does it usually take for the results to arrive? i did apply for a temporary permit but i think that once you take the exam you can't use the IP anymore. thanks for your time & concern. God bless!
