Canadian Nurse applying for California License by Endorsement

Published

Hey everyone.

Just wondering if there are many Canadian RN's that got declined a California License.

I have done everything I needed to for the application:

- Passed NCLEX

- Obtained Minnesota License

- Completed GGFNS Visa Screen

- Got a Job offer at an LA Hospital

- Obtained my TN work Visa

- Obtained a Social Security Number

- Applied for California License by Endorsement and Temp license

- Signed up for Nursys to verify my license

- Sent California Board of Nursing my Transcripts/Course Outline/Clinical Breakdown

- Sent in my Fingerprints via LiveScan

I have heard stories of RN's getting declined a licence in California, however everyone I know that has applied for a license in California that is Canadian got approved.

Has anyone had trouble with the application process?

How long did it take you once you sent the application in to California BON.

Thanks for reading!

Hi

I'm a Canadian nurse who got rejected by the California BON. Hopefully you did receive your license.

Best of luck

Hi Mwood:

Did you see my post? I am also a Canadian nurse applying for license by endorsement. I did all steps as well and have been told I'm deficient in OB hours. Not sure what that means the letter doesn't give details.

I have been given 3 years to "fix". Their suggestion is to take an OB course at one of their approved Universities listed on their website which I've learned is an almost impossible and expensive task.

I am hoping to sort this out with a more detailed letter from my Dean at my Nursing faculty.

I graduated from U of Manitoba.

Where did you graduate from and when?

Many Canadian RN's have unfortunately faced this I am learning.

Thanks for posting!
