CA BRN Endorsing license to another state

Published

Hi Everyone,

For those of you that were first license in CA, how long did it take for the CA BRN to send your endorsement stuff to the other state you wanted your license in? almost 5 weeks in and no progress-- need license ASAP (within 4 weeks at the absolute most) for other state or in danger of losing a job offer. Any tips or tricks to get them to complete your things quicker? I called them and the person I spoke to was not helpful/ nice at all.

I wish CA would join everyone else and use NURSYS!!! it's a little ridiculous that it takes this long.

It is absolutely appalling. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my endorsement is 10 weeks at this point and looks like it won't go through for another 3-4 weeks. I lost my temporary license 4 weeks ago and can't work. I've lost thousands of dollars.

I wrote to my assemblyman in CA and that is not making any progress either.

Nurses deserve better than this.

O man this looks scary. I know how hard to endorse to CA from other state , especially for us as international RNs. They make the rules are harder and harder to get it. So I kind of figured that CA doesn't need RNs as much as before. Then I just endorsed to other state. And it was quite easy. Which state are you guys current in now ? How's the nurse job opportunity there?

Hope you guys already finish endorse from CA to other states.

Wow...2 years later and nothing has changed. The lady I spoke to is very very forgetful. I don't think they know what they're doing. The CA BRN expect nurses to be ethical but they do not exemplify that. What a disgrace to the nursing profession. They don't want nurses to get out of CA. They want to suck you in with their misery.
