I have a question when it comes to Ca. licensing. I graduated from Excelsior College, passed the NCLEX and am working in Fl. I have been a practicing LPN since 2010. Ca. does not recognize Excelsior grads. I am pursuing higher degrees but have been told by someone at the Ca. BON that it doesn't matter, the only way I would be granted a license is if completed another RN program that they recognize. I'm told it has to do with the clinicals. I get it I guess but I have my own thoughts on that. Unfortunately they didn't ask. I have attempted to contact the Ca. BON a second time repeatedly but can't get through on the phone an e-mails have not been returned. My follow question is if you have been practicing as an LPN for greater than 5 years can you sit for the Ca. RN. I have heard this from a couple of people that I trust/believe just am looking for confirmation. Or making sure its still true. Anyone have any idea?
