California License

Hi,

I've seen the other posts talking about how bad the job market is in California right now. However my husband is being transferred to the San Diego area and I have no choice in not moving.

I was wondering if I need to have a California license before applying and I can just state that I am in the process of endorsing my license, or if I have to wait till that's all settled before I can apply.

Also I will have been working a little less than a year as an RN by the time we move out there. I have the option of staying at my current job until my year is up. I just don't know if it will make that big of a deal? I don't want to be passed over for jobs that have a year experience requirement because I only have 10 months of experience.

Thanks for your help

I would complete the year. It can only help. You would also be making it easier for yourself by applying with a CA license already in hand. Don't give them a reason to pass you by. The same goes for anyone attempting to find work in a different state. JMO
