Endorsing from Idaho with ABSN?

Published

If I complete my ABSN at an accredited university in Idaho and sit for the NCLEX in Idaho, will I encounter any issues endorsing to Calfornia? All of my labs have been real in person labs, and all courses have been at legitimate accredited schools. I am applying for my program now, and did not know that I may have to (or if I need to) consider the number of clinical hours included in the program? My ABSN is 12 months full time with a VERY heavy credit load and clinicals begin in the first semester. Thank you for any guidance at all. 

Specializes in Long term care.

I did an ABSN in Florida, sat for my boards in the Northeast and then endorsed into California. 

I would love to hear what you have found out ScubaRN26 as I am looking to apply to the same program and eventually move back to work in California.  I have reached out to the CA BON multiple times with no success.

Hi, I wasn't able to get much clarification beyond being advised I would receive a letter telling me what to do if my education doesn't meet their requirements, if and when I attempt to license there. Please let us know if you are able to get more information.
