LVN license by endorsement California

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

Hello,

I am currently an LPN in Illinois. On March 21, 2017, I submitted all requested documentation to California Nursing Board. They received my application but have not yet cashed the check for $199. Does anyone know how long the process typically takes? I'm not planning to move until late fall, but I am anxious about the process.

Thank you!

I hope this helps. I am a CA LVN and recently got endorsement to another state. I mailed the endorsement form on January 2 and they didn't process it until the middle of March. It took 10 weeks just for them to sign and mail the endorsement letter. I was going nuts. I even thought they might have lost it, so I submitted another one online and paid again. Very frustrating, compared to the state I'm moving to, which processed my application and had a temporary license for me in ONE week. Hang in there and good luck in CA.

Thank you, that is very helpful! It sounds like maybe I need to move to your new state instead:)

California is a mess! Plan on everything taking wayyyyy longer than you expected. It's been this way for awhile now. Just to be "safe" I would budget about 2-3 month delay on paperwork.

Thank you, I'll update when they cash my check, after that I'm guessing a good 3 months before I hear anything.
