California Breeze Application Process - Please HELP!!

[jas007]

I applied to take the NCLEX RN (BSN) Feb 10th 2017, I got a letter last Friday saying that I needed to include my fingerprints, which I did. I uploaded my livescan paperwork when I completed my online application. Also, when I log on my application is no longer there. It used to say "pending" but since last Monday there is nothing. I've been calling them since January and I've never gotten anyone on the phone. I called at 7:59AM (they open at 0800), the machine said they were closed. I immediately hung up, and called at 0800, the machine said they had a high volume of calls and of course, ended the call on its own. This has been clockwork for the past 3 months. I have left messages and emails and I never get a response. I live in Oceanside so I can't just go to them easily. If anyone has any info I'd be so grateful!

I was worried that something was missing and they just deleted it and were going to notify me at all. I am so excited! Nervous, but excited. Thank you!

hello! i know this post has been for a year but i'm feeling kind of hopeless. The BRN keeps saying they haven't received my transcripts when in fact, my school sent our class transcripts altogether electronically. I even called my school to verify and they sent out a couple times more. I guess the question is, what exactly do I tell an assembly member? I have found that Blanca Rubio is our state assembly member. Thank you in advance

I had to deal with them for the exact same issue. You can read my post here https://allnurses.com/california-nursing/california-license-by-1032333-post9916301.html#post9916301

I would recommend you to have your school send your official sealed transcript to you, and you bring them to BRN in person. Yes, it's very costly, but it will end your misery fast. They are pretty efficient once they receive your hand delivered transcripts. They may even be able to give your permenant license on the same day. When I was there, there was another lady who went to nursing school in the Philipines, so she didn't have the option to bring her transcript in person. Just like you, she requested her school 4-5 times, both by mail and eleconitrically. Nada. She told me she has gone to BRN in person 5 times, took her a year, and thousands of dollars. I feel bad for her but BRN is famous for losing your documents. Good luck!

P.S. I recommend you to be there before 9am, or better yet, just be there when they are open at 8. When I was there both times, I noticed a pattern which is whenever the person behind the counter felt fed up, she/he would leave and never return for quite some time, especially if it's around their lunch time. You would see people working in their cubicles or even look at you when you knock on the glass window, but nobody would come out and serve you if they are too "overwhelmed".
