Nothing makes it faster and it takes about 4 weeks.

Though it takes about 4 weeks for Washington to endorse licenses, California is the hold up here. I did the same thing about a year ago, before California became even more back logged on approvals with their new system. Though on Washington's side everything was processed quickly, it took nearly 3 months for California to confirm and to receive my license.

I think California is getting things straightened out--I got my confirmation on their end about six weeks after I sent it in. It was taking three months earlier this year. As far as I know, there's nothing you can do to speed things up on the California end.

Did you pay the $30 fee for NURSYS license verification? That's what I did, it was sent immediately. Just sent in my fingerprint card and waiting on my background check to be completed. I'm guessing it'll take a few weeks, maybe by Sept 1st.

Hey guys I'm currently in the process of endorsing my license from CA to WA, does anyone have any idea how long it will take? I'm at week 7 since I mailed everything in and all my checks have cleared. The WA nursing site just lists my license as pending. Any info on timeline from your recent experience would be appreciated.
