Hello,I am currently an LPN in Illinois. On March 21, 2017, I submitted all requested documentation to California Nursing Board. They received my application but have not yet cashed the check for $199. Does anyone know how long the process typically takes? I'm not planning to move until late fall, but I am anxious about the process. Thank you! 0 Likes
CalNevaMimi, LPN, LVN Specializes in DD, PD/Agency Peds, School Sites. Apr 19, 2017 I hope this helps. I am a CA LVN and recently got endorsement to another state. I mailed the endorsement form on January 2 and they didn't process it until the middle of March. It took 10 weeks just for them to sign and mail the endorsement letter. I was going nuts. I even thought they might have lost it, so I submitted another one online and paid again. Very frustrating, compared to the state I'm moving to, which processed my application and had a temporary license for me in ONE week. Hang in there and good luck in CA. 0 Likes

lvnforschool Specializes in School Nursing. Apr 19, 2017 California is a mess! Plan on everything taking wayyyyy longer than you expected. It's been this way for awhile now. Just to be "safe" I would budget about 2-3 month delay on paperwork. 0 Likes
