**MODS can I get a sticky, this will help all EC students, Thanks**
This letter I received today from EC student advising.
Dear Christopher: There are three states right now that would block your initial licensure and endorsement of your eventual RN license. CA, MD and WA.
There are some states that will have qualifications to endorse in and that means that you would have to do additional RN hours to endorse into ND, LA, AL, KS, VT, CO (where you may be also precepted for 750 hours on a permit issued by CO Board after completing our program). IL requires 2 years RN experience.
FL requires you to endorse in with no RN hours and so does GA. AZ requires a 120 precepted experience that Excelsior will set up when a student has completed our program.
The school of nursing and the deans have been in close contact with these boards trying to work out solutions to their concerns. We have a new dean of state boards and in the past year have been in touch with CA, MD and WA, the three states that as of now you would not be able to endorse into.
I think I have covered the qualifications, but email or call if any questions.
