California endorsement requirements. Communication?

Published

I'm endorsing my RN-license from florida to California. I see that I need

(2) Communication skills, six (6) semester or nine (9) quarter units. Communication skills shall include principles of oral, written, and group communication

What unit/course number is communication exactly? I looked up my local community college and I only see communication studies, is that what it is?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jcezz, I'm in a similar position and wondering if you were able to get ahold of anybody at the California BRN to get your questions answered? I can't figure out how to contact them. I just graduated from a nursing program in Ohio and am trying to gain my CA license but I see there is a microbio lab requirement and I only took regular bio 101 with lab so I want to see what I can do about this. Thanks

I endorsed my RN-FL to RN-CA last Jan 11 2022, I received my temporary on March 5 2022, received the permanent RN after 10 days. I didn't need to do oral and speech but thats maybe because I’m already lvn in california for 6 years. Best way to get answers is going to board of nursing at sacramento. I had to go there because my application was way past the processing time and they fave me license number the same day. BRN (916) 322-3350. My girlfriend did the same thing and got her temporary already, the problem now is getting the permanent license. They are so unorganized and short staff so the process is always delayed.

thanks for the response! was it easy to meet in person? did you have to make an appointment by calling their phone or just walk in to the address they have listed on their website? I'll be calling them tomorrow when they open but I've read on this forum they stopped answering phone calls (presumably because of how understaffed they are)
