Hello everybody!!


Hope you all having a nice day.  I'm very confused with the California Board of Nursing;  currently I'm applying to take the NCLEXRN, but things are not working as I thought they would.  First of all, it takes forever for them to received my documents even when I send them via certified mail and all that.  I started the whole process last year, October 14, supposely my transcript never arrived.  I re-send my transcript a few times, thru my school of course; and finally they send me notice that they got it March 4.  The bad news is that for them the transcript from my university does not reflect completion of a pychology course.  I did take a mental health class for nursing, and it  say so on my transcript, but I guess for then it does not count.  I tried getting in touch with my evaluator on the California Board of Nursing, but she is never in, I have left numerous messages, but cannot get in touch with her.  The letter says that I have to addressed this problem in order to be part of their board (obviously) and that I have one year from the date of the letter to do so.  My question is, what kind of psychology class do you take in the states? is it a basic psychology class without a focus on nursing? how many classes? I'm willing to take the class, I really don't mind, but I'm not sure what they are referring to.  Please help!! I'm at my wits end. I'll  appreciate any information you can give.  Thank you!

it's psychology 1, you can take it from any community colleges, it sort of like a pre requisite, basic.  maybe the mental health nursing that you took was credited as a part of psychiatric nursing, which is needed for the curriculum of registered nurse.

I know how you feel. My friend is a staffer, is having that same problem, she has completed her LVN, but the state of nursing in California, is having problems with her transcripts also. She is from the Phillipines. I wanted to answer your question. Some schools want Psychology 001. But other want Psychology 41, and Psychology001 too. I hope you California Boards resolve this issue fast. Good luck.
