CA will look at you after a year of experience with your RN....so they arent completely ruled out. thats what I am working on now...they have one lady a the board who deals with EC grads only....call and ask for her and she'll tell you its case by case

Instead of saying its not true and implying others dont know what they are talking about...call the CA board and find out yourself....I have and thats what I was told..the lack of clinical hours is made up when your licensed and working as an RN in another state, hence the 6-12month experience.... (916) 322-3350 and I asked for whoever worked with excelsior licenseing......

I enrolled in the program in 07 with a CA address, had no problems...call the board and talk to them...Excelsior also told me they have had students getting endorsed after 6-12 months in another state....but its case by case,,,per the CA board..if your exp is in a clinic/nursing home you might not get endorsed..if its in acute care you have a better chance.....

CA doesnt reconize Excelsior for initial licensure, but you can endorse in after a year experience as an RN, they do a case by case review....If you want to work at the VA, then you can do excelsior and do boards for another state, work VA then endorse after a year

I just finsihed the program, waiting to take boards...I have the textbooks, older versions, if interested send me an [email protected],
