California Nursing License HELP!

Published

Hi! I submitted my application for an RN license endorsement to the State of California in the middle of October; I'm waiting to start a job out there in 3 weeks. I need help because I'm still without a California nursing license! I'm really beginning to panic.

Here's what I've already done.

1. I call the Board 2-3 times per week, which is easily a two-three hour process considering the lousy switchboard. They tell me every time that they are forwarding my application on to a supervisor. This morning, this woman said, "well, we will have been processing your application for three months on Feburary 6th, so then we'll really have to do something." I don't even know what to say to that.

2. I've written and called the Governor's office. They say they've opened a case file. They told me I should be hearing back from the Board of nursing directly. Yeah, sure I will.

I think my next option is to get on a plane and fly to Sacramento. But I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas. PLEASE HELP! I'm open to anything.

Contacting the congressman who represents your district also works.

however, as the BRN really answers to no one, careful not to irritate the wrong

person, or your paperwork may end up getting the desk-shuffle or bottom of the pile treatment
