I graduated in August last year, and moved to CA to try to find a job and live with my then-fiancee. I was officially licensed as an RN by mid-October, but could never find a job. In Feb. of this year I applied to Texas for my License by Endorsement and received my temporary license. However I was still looking for a job in both states and was not going to complete my application till I had a job offer in Texas, especially since I was married in March and taking a job in Texas meant leaving my husband. I realize now waiting to turn in my background check and take the jurisprudence exam was a bad idea. I got a job offer, and started in May in Texas. However my temporary license expired mid-June. I had everything turned in (and received) by June 15th, and knew it was going to take ten business days to process. I was okay with that, it's my own fault and I know it. But we are now on the 12th business day and my license has still not been processed and posted. I also cannot seem to get a hold of anyone who can tell me why, or find out why and call me back. I'm frustrated, my nurse manager is frustrated, and I just need some advice if anyone has any. I don't know exactly what to do, or if there is anything I CAN do.
