Canadian Alberta Nurse to California, RN

[l1ndee]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is anyone out there encountering a similar situation I am in.

I am a dual-citizen of Canada and the U.S. looking to practice in California. I graduated from University of Calgary in 2015, passed my NCLEX-RN exam shortly, and am looking to seek a license in California within the next year. I have one year of experience under my belt in an acute hospital setting. However, I realized California has strict guidelines on their education and requests that every applicant has had maternity/ob-gyn experience when they were in school? I never had that rotation unfortunately so I am scared I will be rejected. Anyone going from Canada to California like I am?
