Texas to California License

[meganm1996]

Hello, all!

I am soon graduation with my BSN in the state of Texas and soon will start applying to the wonderful world of graduate residency programs.

I am planning on moving to California post-graduation and am wondering what I should do regarding my license.

Do I apply to have my license in CA with my NCLEX, will I be able to apply to receive both licenses TX and CA? Or should I receive my TX license and apply for my CA license by endorsement? That may take 12 weeks to receive and complete, so may interfere with my residency program if I am offered one. What is the best way to go about this?

When do you graduate?

Definitely apply online through Breeze if you are set on CA.

The area is just oversaturated with new graduates so if you can get a job in Texas easily I would recommend that! But theres no place like home, thats for sure.

I graduate this upcoming May. What exactly is Breeze? We don't use that in TX. And i have heard of the over influx of new RN grads.

You can go on the CA BRN website and check it out. It's a portal to apply for licensure and check your status / any deficiencies. My friend applied online and getting cleared was really quick for her.
