Interim Permit, waiting

3- 6 weeks for IP is about right.

Sorry, but there is no way at all to speed up the process. The interim permit is only granted when they have completed your credentials verification, and they do their own. The IP means that you have met all licensing requirements except for writing and passing the NCLEX exam.

I personally would call it a blessing in disguise. How are you going to prepare for the exam, and start a new position and have to study all that you need for your job, as well as the for the EXAM? You would be much better off taking the exam and gettign it done and out of the way. The other issue is if you do not pass the exam, and start your job, you could losr your job. Many states no longer issue the IP, and I agree with them.

You will be moving to a new area, anfd trying to get settled. You are adding too much to an already full plate. Nothing will speed up the BRN, nor can any one try to get them to move faster.

Too late now, but your much faster route would have been to get licensed in AZ, since you went to an AZ school, or which ever state, and then just endorse to CA, you can get a temporary permit the same day if you go to Sacramento. And you would have had everything done in most cases.
