Hi,

Im not sure how you would get your licensed endorsed in the the US, but Im sure it's easier than getting a license in Canada when your from the US because I've tried.

You need to ask the California Board of Practical Nursing. There is a link to their website. At the top right of this web page is a button "Links". Roll your mouse over that button and a drop down menu appears. Click on the link for the Boards of Nursing in the drop down menu. You will find a link to the California Board of Practical Nursing there. If the information isn't on their website, there should be a telephone number there for you to call and an address to write to.

i was wondering, does the bvnpt give you the license number online before you have paid the $100.00 license fee? how soon can i check online to see if i passed or is it really a month i have to wait?
