I just received a call from the CA Licensing Office stating that my application with the CA Board is complete, except they are missing my transcript that has my sociology course. I replied with, "What sociology course? I didn't know that was a requirement." They said, "Yes, we need your nursing transcripts, which we have, and proof that you have passed a sociology course." I hung up to check my transcripts, and - of course - I have not taken Sociology. I called them back but had to leave a message as no one answered.
So now, my question to you... Since when is sociology a requirement?! My first Bachelors was in Psych so I have a million Psych classes and Cultural Anthropology - will either of these count? Sociology wasn't a prerequisite for my ABSN degree, only Lifespan Psychology - will that count? I'm debating whether I need to sprint down to the local JC and beg to register late for a sociology course.
Gosh, I hope I don't have to wait until MAY to take the N-CLEX. This bites.
For anyone reading this, the CA BON will accept the following social science courses in place of a sociology course: Human development, life span development, anthropology, gender studies, or a second psychology course.
Hello! Hoping you'll see this! Do you know if life-span psychology would count? The thing is, that's the only psychology class I've taken.

No humanities or US history classes? Or child development?
Do you know if American history or economics would count? I took both and theyre considered social science classes. I also took life span psychology
