California RN endorsement questions!

Published

Hello,

I really need help with my license endorsement to CA from PA. I need to do it via paper form because the online option for some reason does not have my nursing school listed. So, I have to do it via mail. Here are my questions:

a. Can I fly to CA and do the livescan fingerprints done there even if I am not a resident of CA? In the Livescan form, it asks to fill every X. However, there is some X's that I can not fill, such as a CA drivers license. Do I leave this blank? I want to do it via livescan because I can not for the life of me find a law enforcement agency that does fingerprint cards.

b. PA does not participate in Nursys and they do not accept any paper forms for verification of license. They now have an online application process that I have used before to endorse my license to CO. However, the website clearly states that the paper form must be included. Can I just do the online application of PA with the fees and is this acceptable?

c. If i am doing this application via mail, how can I check my status of my application in the Breeze website? How do I link those together?

d. If I can not do the fingerprints via Livescan in CA, can I do them in CO since I am moving there although my first license is from PA? Not sure if that matters.

e. Is there a certain timeframe that all the documents must arrive, or can I send them separately at different times?

Also, any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated! I want to get my license endorsed and ready for next year.

Best,

NurseC

I had to apply by paper as well in July. Did you figure out how to check status of application on Breeze website? How did it link together?

Hello NurseC009 were you able to figure out the answers to your questions? I am endorsing from PA TO CA as well.
