Licensure endorsement for California???

Published

Specializes in NICU.

Hello everyone! I have the Nursing license issued by the state of New York and I would like to apply for endorsement of that license to the state of California. I completed my Nursing Degree in 2013 in Spain however, I have been working in the United Kingdom since 2016 and as a NICU nurse since 2017. My Nursing Degree transcript has been approved by CGFNS and I have passed the IELTS successfully. I have completed several courses in English, one of them (Qualification in the Speciality of Neonatal Nursing) with 40 credits. My question is that if I am eligible to apply for the licensure endorsement to California in regards to the required curriculum. If that's not the case, which steps could I follow to obtain it? TIA.

California is a hard one to apply to and until you apply and submit paperwork they will not make a decision and just because you are licensed in one state cannot guarantee meeting California requirements

Thank you for your answer Silverdragon102. Do you know if there's any way to apply for licensure in California without having a SSN or ITIN? Best regards.

Nope, California as far as I am aware will not accept application without USSSN or ITIN
