question regarding endorsement

Where abouts are you in your process? I would not suggest endorsing until you know you are on your way as with current retrogression looking at over 5 years. Ca will not I think give you a license until you have a SSN which you will not get until in the US and can prove you have legal work visa

NM is under the Nursys system, you have to sign up with them and they will provide the verification of your license to CA.

www.nursys.com

NM will not fill out any forms for you for this. The cost is about $30 US for a certain length of time.

[quote=royz23;2607225] You don't have to send the license verification anymore to NM. That is what Suzanne has been saying and what is said in NM's website. They do not send verification of licenses manually anymore to other BON/BRNs as they are part of nursys and this will do that for them.
That is the very point of being under nursys. They only send manual license verifications straight from them on certain exemptions such as if it is to be sent to CGFNS.

You only need to go on-line to nursys and that's it. CA BRN accepts license verification from nursys. License verification from another State is already proof of having passed the NCLEX.

See: http://www.dca.ca.gov/proflic/rns_endorse.htm

As far as obtaining additional proof of passage of NCLEX coming from the BON you originally applied for licesure, you have to contact NM for that and explain to them that aside from License Verification, CA BRN is requiring an additional proof coming directly from them. You may attach the instructions from CA BRN that says so (page 5 in the Endorsement application packet). Usually, a license verification is all that is needed but it seems CA BRN is becoming strict in regards to International graduates. NM BON may also not yet be fully aware of this as well as a simple license verification is usually enough with most.

See: http://www.rn.ca.gov/pdfs/applicants/end-app.pdf

CA normally accepts the Nursys verification and that is all that is needed and what has been needed in the past, even for foreign grads. Have not heard of them requiring anything further than that.

You are quite welcome.

Hi, newbie here. I read the thread and I, too, have a question regarding that verification of passage that the California Board of Nursing has required. I am also a foreign graduate nurse but I have passed my NCLEX already and I'm registered in the state of Arizona. Right now I am residing in California and I want to transfer my license here, that's why I'm applying for licensure by endorsement. My question regarding the verification of passage is this: the CA Board of Nursing states "For international graduates: In addition to obtaining license verification from the state where you hold a current and active license, you must also obtain verification of passage of the appropriate licensing examination from the board of nursing where you took the examination (NCLEX-RN, SBTPE, or five-part
licensing examination in Canada)."
So I am licensed in the state of Arizona, but I took my NCLEX in Guam. Does that mean I will have to request for a verification of passage from the Board of Nursing in Guam? Is there like a form for this or do I just have to write a letter or something? I hope someone can help me out. THanks a lot!
