license verification

If you have a license ( the actual license ) not notification of passing NCLEX, you can apply to have you licensed endorsed. You also need a SSN .

If you have the physical Licenses, then that would verify that you passed the NCLEX :smokin:

i am currently endorsing my license from another state to califnornia. i ahve a question though, they are asking for a "LICENSE VERIFICATION INDICATING YOU HAVE PASSED THE NCLEX-RN" is it the same license verification the state where you are currently licensed is issuing?
thanks

Hi, I just recently endorsed to California myself (very recently, just got the license less than a month ago). It is essentially the same form. The License Verification Form is downloadable from Ca BRN website and you need to send the form to your current state's BON. Your state BON will likely charge a fee to process that form and send it to Ca BRN. It took 4 months for the endorsement process from sending of the application packet to actual license in my hand.

hi there thanks for the reply... it takes that long? 4 months? wow!! i applied both for temporary and permanent license... i got a response from the california bon already that they have reviewed my application and that i lack some requirements.. so far i called the state where i am currently licensed and they said they already mailed my license verification last july 16th... my school sent my transcripts already.. so by monday next week they might receive it... im just confused about what the " verification that you ahve passed the nclex rn" really is.. if its the same with the verification of license from the state where im currently active...

I'm not kidding, it took that long! I think California BRN has a huge backlog of applicants. I also received a similar letter early on but never got a letter from them for many months after that initial letter. I applied to endorse both my RN and NP licenses. When I finally got impatient and called the BON, I was told the NP license was approved right away but was being held for release pending approval of the endorsement for the RN license and they said the school transcript from the Philippines was what was holding it up (though, I knew for a fact that the school in the Philippines already sent it). As long as you submitted all the requirements, it will go through...California just seems to take longer than usual compared to other states.

BTW, let me ask you this. Did you take the NCLEX in the state where you currently hold a license? I took the NCLEX in IL but currently practice in MI. I have received RN licenses in both states, thus, I had to submit verification forms from both states (IL and MI). If your case is similar, you'll have to do the same as I did.

California has cut the hours of the board of nursing, it is closed 3 Fridays a month. I have always thought if you want to expedite a license you apply in person.

Looks like the state of Ca wants you to apply in person for a temporary license.
