***FYI Excelsior students can get Licensed in Cali***

Published

I have a very good friend that graduated from Excelsior college a year and a half ago, and she resides in Ga. She just got her Cali Rn license by endorsement. So you have to be an Rn in another state for a year, (working RN). Now she got a contract with an agency making a ridiculous amount of money an hour, like $750 per 12 hour shift, of course she works ICU.

I am licensed here in California and graduated in 2005. It is NOT that you must be graduated by 2003, but rather enrolled in the program by December 5, 2003. You must maintain enrollment with no gaps. Potentially, if you enrolled by this date and kept up your enrollment, you would be allowed in California when you graduated....regardless of the graduation date. Besides this clause, there is no other way. The information is on the boards web site and Excelsior's as well. California has become very picky.

Correct - it isn't possible for anyone who enrolled in Excelsior after 2003. You can, however, practice in CA through a federal job with a license from another state. Military hospitals, federal prisons, some Indian agencies, VA, etc.

Do not count on being licensed in California as an Excelsior grad. Many experienced RNs have been denied.
