From Alaska RN to California RN license enforcement

[AKrn2024]

Hello, I am from AK and I went to a new open private university for my nursing in ADN and have passed my NCLEX. However, I am moving to California and was going to transfer my license through endorsement but I haven't seen or heard anything online if California accepts AK RN. I say course requirements listened to be quality got California license but my school doesn't require some of those courses so I am stuck and don't know what I should do because I don't know what online course is acceptable or approve by the California BON. Please help me!

Required Prerequisites for RN Examination and Endorsement Applicants

New law went into effect October 2023 Coursework Exemption for Out of State Applicants that labs are not required as long as RN licensed for 2 years.

CA BON list of approved nursing programs. Classes taken at any of these locations should be acceptable to meet course work not taken in your ADN program.

Hope this helps you get CA endorsed license.

Hi, thank you so much for replying, I can see that those school are within California and money is tight with me since I just recently graduated and pass the NCLEX and haven't start my job here in Alaska, I have notice that Alaska credit for prerequisites are probably not up to California standards and I wanted to try to get all those course in as fast and finish as soon as possible. I have seen people use straighter line online program but don't know if California will accept it if I did all my course through it such as oral communication, critical thinking, Microbiology, sociology, etc. it been stressing me out because I am trying to get ahold of them and but they want me to pay for the endorsement process and they will check and that's a lot of money to do and at the end wait couple months and get rejected for not having those courses. Please let me know if straighterline would be accepted by the BON of California. Sorry for the long post...

You have to contact the CA BON for this information.  Emailing them works better than trying to call.

Good luck
