Microbiology Lab for California License

Published

Hi! I graduated with my BSN in Illinois and have been licensed and working as a nurse in Texas for ~4 years. I am moving to California this Summer with my husband and began the process for a California license back in March. I have now learned I am missing the 1 credit Microbiology lab. 
someone at the BON said straighterline works, but I’m uneasy about it since it isn’t a college. Anyone else in this boat have any luck with online labs? I’m just scared since they’re so picky and I’ve already sunk so much money in this process.

I’m in the same boat as you. I applied back in March and have been an active RN for the past 20 year and held a license in 3 other states without incident and they just told me yesterday that my transcript was missing the lab component from Microbiology (which I took 25 years ago!). I am beyond frustrated at this ridiculous requirement for nurses who already hold licenses.
