2. Is there something I don't know about finding RN jobs in Cali

   selby08 replied to Roxlyn3's topic in California Nursing

6. Wishing to work in California, from another state

   selby08 replied to suzanne4's topic in California Nursing

   I also wanted to add that you can apply for your original licensure to be in CA even if you went to school in another state. However, CA will need to receive and evaluate your transcripts before even...

    selby08 replied to DavericaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
