@DreamyBrit hey!! Yes, it finally came through, took about a month and a week. and don’t feel bad about bugging them, I emailed them every week saying please give me some shred on insight on where my application is because I have accepted a job offer they won’t really help you, but it doesn’t hurt to keep asking hang In there, it will come through! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, I know how stressful it is

Hey! From my understanding, yes, you absolutely need to send your official transcripts!

Perfect! Thank you for the reply!

@scarbone Hi again - I have a quick question if you don't mind! I've been looking at my OSBN license tracker every day, and it continues to have these "outstanding items", and I am wondering if your tracker looked similar? I just want to make sure that I have done absolutely everything on my end of things and that these outstanding items are really just there b/c the OSBN has not reviewed my application yet! Thank you ? Tess "1 Awaiting final application review by staff to ensure all application requirements have been met 2 Practice History Needs Staff Review 3 Transcripts have not been reviewed by Board Staff 4 Verification of initial state nursing licensure is required"

Oh my gosh!! How funny, I was just messaging you back saying what a bummer and to keep hanging on, but YAY!! Congrats, what a weight of your shoulders!! There’s hope yet ? I’ll keep you updated… I applied late March so im Sure I still have a few more weeks left!

Hi there, I have a technical question about the license endorsement that I really need some clarification on. I have my original license from CA, and then I endorsed my license over to WA. I am now trying to endorse my license over to OR, and I did so through the Nursys website. However, I just realized that I says I need verification through the original state of licensure, which in my case, would be CA. Is this true? Or because I have already endorsed my license over to WA Then I can use Nursys to endorse over to OR? Thank you for your help

Hey there! I am currently in the process of transferring my CA license over to OR. How long did yours end up taking..?

Hi Everyone! I am an RN & have my license in both WA and CA (CA being the original state of licensure). I am moving to OR with my fiancé, so I'm working on getting my license endorsed over to OR. Unfortunately, OR will not provide us with processing times. I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation to mine that can provide some insight on wait times? Online it looks like 3-6 weeks, but I've heard some people are waiting 3 months? Any insight welcome! Thank you :)

Thank you for the response! I guess I’m new to union contacts - so I’m wondering why is it that we don’t have the ability to negotiate with union contacts?

Hi! Here are the details: Im an RN with just over 1 ye experience in med-surg inpatient hospital setting. I recently was offered a position with an outpatient Kaiser clinic. I was offered a generous sign on bonus, however the pay still seems a bit low. I know clinics get paid less than inpatient. I’ll be working in Seattle (very expensive city) Kaiser WA is unionized. I have my BSN But anyways, to the point! Do I have the ability to negotiate for more money per hour? Or do I have to accept what they offer bc that is what is set by the union? Is there any wiggle room for more pay? thank you for your help!

Hi I’m sorry I haven’t been on here forever. It took 3+ months to get it to transfer... and CA is the side that takes FOREVER. Once CA takes care of their side, WA is relatively quick. But overall it’s a long process.

Hi! I am a new grad that went to nursing school in CA and I have just accepted a job in WA. I need to transfer my CA license to WA, but I'm super confused on how to do it! Is there anyone that can offer any tips or outline the steps to do so? Thank you so much!
