Changing Licensure from NY to CA

Published

Hi Everyone!!!

You might think I'm kinda crazy for asking this question so ahead of time, but once I graduate I will obtain my RN in the state of New York, and I plan to move to the state of California.

Is it possible for me to take my license test to get my RN for the state of California here in NY?

What would I have to do to change my RN license from NY to CA???

Your help is greatly appreciated ;)

Sincerely,

KMM

You need to endorse to Ca which isn't hard to do. if you want to take it straight away with Ca then you have to apply to Ca and meet their requirements. You can sit the exam in any pearsonvue test center that does the exam regardless on state you have applied

Once you have passed NCLEX and have your license you just need to go to California's BRN website and look for endorsing license and all information is there. If you plan on applying to Ca you will also find application for licensure forms there
