Cali RN by Endorsement Question

[SnowfallInParis]

I have submitted for my cali license by endorsement. However, my application is missing coursework "reflecting in psychology and oral communication". '

I didn't take a gen ED psych class in undergrad because I had AP Psych credits, but I did take a psych nursing class/clinical. Do you think it's worth it to try and submit proof of my AP credit to the board?

Also, I am at a loss how to meet this "oral communication" requirement. I went back through some old syllabi and that is an objective of some of my courses but is that something I can also submit?

Thanks guys :)

Need more information, but assume this is California? You are probably stuck with calling the BON to find out the actual definition of the problem and how you can remedy it. Plan on it taking at least 6 months minimum to resolve. Often it requires going back to your school and obtaining a class curriculum to prove content, not just a class title. 

If psychology academic credits are required (I went to nursing school in California and they were required), your clinical psych rotation isn't going to be worth diddly. Oral communication sounds like public speaking. I didn't do that, but I did have to take a communications class. Which class of course is highly recommended if you must interact in depth with a BON.
