Hi everyone! I have been registered here for years, as a lurker, but now I have a question! I am currently a RN in the state of Maryland. I am looking at possibly relocating to California with my boyfriend within the next year. I have been trying to get in touch with the BRN in CA regarding endorsement but they are very hard to make contact with. I know they have specific educational requirements to obtain endorsement in CA, but I am trying to find out exactly what those education requirements are. I think I will probably need additional classes and I would like to work towards that now instead of finding out when I need to get licensed that I still have to take classes.. There is no information on their website regarding specifics (just the vague "educational requirements), and I cannot make contact via email or phone. Can anybody help me out?

Thank you for your response! Do you think it's appropriate to send her an email regarding this? She is very hard to get in contact with via the phone.

Hello, all! I've been a lurker on here forever- decided to finally get an account. I'm not a current new grad, but I'm not sure where else to post this. I will be graduating in January 2009. I recently applied to my dream hospital, had an interview with the nurse recruiter, then another interview with the nurse manager, and finally.. I got a call back from the nurse recruiter with a verbal job offer. I accepted. We set my start date at February 23rd and she told me to call back Feb 1st for all the preemployment stuff. Now I'm a little worried.. she did not say anything about sending me anything in writing and did not ask me to come in to sign anything. Should I feel confident that my job is secured? I asked her to confirm that this was guaranteed, and she said, "Yes. I'm giving you a job offer." I'm not sure how the whole hiring process goes, especially since I will be unable to work for the next 5 months. Does this sound routine to have only a verbal job offer until you graduate? Should I ask for something in writing? Thanks so much!
