Hi there! I have been a licensed and practicing NP in California since 2021. I worked full time as well as part time at a telehealth agency (student loans are a killer!) but because of that I have met the 4600 hour requirement to apply for my NP 103 in California to practice in a setting with at least one physician. When I tried to apply I got an error that says I might have a similar application open, my license may be delinquent or canceled (none of that is true). In the language it says 3 years of full time practice OR 4600 hours. Has anyone else had this happen? I am thinking it is because I haven't been licensed for 3 years yet but that shouldn't matter since I have met the requirement. It doesn't say and, it specifically says or... Thanks in advance for any input! FYI, I have contacted the board but no response as of yet. error message copied and pasted below
