MA to CA reciprocity license

Hi,

Has anyone here recently got their CA license after being a MA RN? I am in the process because of my partners relocation due to Covid, suddenly having to move to CA. I understand this is going to take a while but I am super confused by the extra pre requisites posted on the board of registration website. Can anyone help?

Hi Oliver,

I obtained a CA RN license using my MA RN license back in 2013. The process takes awhile, but I didn't have to do much other then fill out the application and maybe submit transcripts from my ADN program.

As long as you completed a traditional nursing program, you should be fine. It just takes forever.
