Applying for licensure in another state after education in California

Published

My question revolves around the mental health requirement. I've noticed that other states are showing approved nursing school as having a mental health clinical requirement, but I'm receiving my LVN education in California, and while we had a mental health class, we didn't have a formal clinical that went with it.

Has anyone had any trouble applying for licensure by exam or endorsement in another state after LVN education in California that didn't have a mental health clinical?

I completed an LVN program in California in 2005, and my initial LVN licensure was granted in California. I endorsed my license into Texas with no problems in 2006. Also, I endorsed my license into Oklahoma in 2008 with no problems.
