Waiting for CA License Endorsement

Dear Nurse Beth,

I'm an RN with a license in TX. Applied for RN endorsement in CA in 3 months ago. Still waiting to hear from them. Any way to get it expedited.

Dear Waiting for CA endorsement,

The California BRN has a reputation for being slow. Actually what I've found them to be is inconsistent in turn-around times, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

So when I called the board last week at (916) 557-1208

I was surprised to get immediate help on my license renewal by a friendly person. It can't hurt to call.

They open at 0800 PT, so I called first thing and had to wait

Here's a link to a current problem and timeframe on processing: CA BRN Processing Times that addresses your problem.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
