  1. Working while in School

    outriton replied to RNLife2025's topic in California Nursing

    I did a 14-month ABSN program and worked two part-time jobs totaling about 30 hrs/wk throughout the entire program. It was hard and required a lot of discipline and planning, but I got it done without...

  2. Working While Waiting for Endorsement in CA?

    outriton replied to 5h3ryL's topic in California Nursing

    You might look into a job at the VA. I believe since it's Federal, you don't need to have a license for the state that the VA facility is located in as long as you have a nursing license from another...

  3. Adn or bsn ? Need help choosing!!

    outriton replied to RN_OneDay's topic in California Nursing

    I think a lot of this depends on where you think you'll want to work. - Will that place hire you with an ADN? Magnet hospitals only hire BSNs for example. - What kind of support will you receive...

  4. Anyone in Sacramento

    outriton replied to LoveableICU's topic in California Nursing

    Moving to Sacramento from out of state is the best thing that's happened to my nursing career. The pay is excellent compared to what you make in other states, and the nursing union is so strong that...

  5. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Hi acampbell22. I endorsed from OK to CA earlier this year, so here are my two cents on (y)our situation. 1) I did LiveScan while in CA for a trip and feel it was absolutely worth it. They were able...

  6. Difference b/t TX and CA BSN schools for endorsement

    outriton replied to jgossc's topic in California Nursing

    I recently endorsed my OK license in CA. I think the differences you're referring to are that CA's BRN requires certain classes in addition to the standard nursing curriculum that is enough to get a...

  7. Sacramento Pay

    outriton posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello. I've seen previous comments that in the Sacramento area Kaiser pays the best and UC Davis pays the worst but has great benefits. Could anybody please give specific pay ranges and/or benefits...

  8. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    I found it helpful to go to the Board in person because I was able to confirm receipt of my transcripts (even though it said "missing education history" on my Breeze status since a reviewer hadn't...

  10. Need advice -- California-- where to live and work?

    outriton replied to themidwestbaby's topic in California Nursing

    I moved from OK to Sacramento this summer and would highly recommend it. Sacramento has a low cost of living for a CA city but still has high RN pay. One of my OK coworkers with more existence moved...

  11. Licensure by endorsement in Cali

    outriton replied to Jenn0986's topic in California Nursing

    You do not have to wait 8-16 weeks to contact your local politicians. I would say wait 4-6 weeks (this seems like a reasonable amount of time since it's about how long endorsement takes in other...

  12. Taking deficient subjects in another state like Texas?

    outriton replied to reginalin's topic in California Nursing

    I don't see why you couldn't take your deficient courses in TX since some people endorse their out of state licenses without ever being in CA before or ever going to school there. I did an accelerated...

  13. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    FYI it doesn't matter where you physically take the NCLEX. You can take it in any state to get licensed in any other state. It just depends on which state you select for licensure when you're signing...

  14. Licensure by endorsement in Cali

    outriton replied to Jenn0986's topic in California Nursing

    If you have a California address, it helps to get in touch with your state senator and state assemblymember. Tell them you're a constituent having problems with a state agency. They'll get in touch...

  16. Problems with CA Board of Nursing wait times in endorsement applications

    outriton replied to phosphorus's topic in California Nursing

    If you've already moved, you can get in touch with your local CA politicians and explain your situation since it's a problem with a state agency. After going to my state assemblymember and state...

  17. transcript form for CA BON

    outriton replied to _zoubisoubisou_'s topic in California Nursing

    You need to send the transcript request form to every school you've ever done any nursing or nursing pre-req coursework at and have them send the form along with your transcript to the BRN. They...

  18. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Since you already live in CA, I strongly encourage you to contact your local politicians to help you, their constituent, with problems with the BRN, a state agency. I found that really sped up my...

  19. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't check my Breeze account every day. I first noticed that my license number was online on a Thursday (I'd previously checked that Monday with no license) and received the card in the mail the...

  22. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    If you've got a free place to stay, you could at least get your Live Scan prints done in state. The online application wasn't available when I applied so I dropped my application off in person to save...

  23. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    That's what happened to my account when I received my license. I never had a license number in the upper right corner before that though. You can double check if it's really that your RN license went...

  24. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    I went to the Board once, and my husband went once on my behalf. I felt like it was helpful in terms of getting information like whether X, Y, Z had been received and was ok. It did not help in terms...

  25. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    outriton replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    To clarify a couple points from this post: You should plan to have all transcripts from all schools you did any coursework sent because the CA Board specifically wants to see your nursing school...
