license by endorsement

[DanaCheryseRN]

Hi All!

Hope everyone had a good holiday season! I have a question for people who are in the process of getting their license endorsed or know somebody who is trying to get their license endorsed in California. I applied for my license around the 2nd week of November and everything has been sent in and received. Ive been caliing the CA BON for the last 2 weeks and got through ONCE and was told there weren't any notes in my file and my hard copy of fingerprints had been cleared. So does anyone about how much longer it will be? I'm getting antsy over here! haha

Also, i currently have a NJ RN license and have fixed up my resume and cover letter. So should i just wait for my CA license number and then apply to jobs or do you think I can apply now while my license is still in progress?

Sorry so long! thanks for any help!

Thank you. And you that 60-90 days was recently in this year? I know the board is so out of whack! Also, they no longer distribute temp. licenses .

Yes, took about 3 months for my NP license this year but not endorsement. I am guessing it would be a similar timeline.

Just read the thread I typed above. Many of them are still waiting... They all applied for endorsement. For some reason, some still talked about a temp license but now i'm not so sure. I know NPs could still get a temp license while waiting for the long process.
