   Thank you. That's a very generous window if that's the case!

   To add: I've tried to contact the CABON multiple times to ask them about this and have gotten no response.

   Hi there. I've made a few posts before about my journey back to California. I'm originally from LA but have been in London for 10 years and did my nursing degree here. I know all about the insanity that is the CABON for foreign trained RNs. They're a...

   College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita does it!

   Hi, all. I thought I'd give a quick update. YES, I'm still hacking away at this. My only remaining hurdle is getting my uni to complete the Breaking of Credits required by the CABON. They don't want to do it.

   Hi there! I'm just waiting for the letter telling me which credits I need to make up. I've gotten in touch with a couple of CA accredited nursing schools who are able to offer courses targeted at foreign trained RNs who need to make up discrepancies....

7. Too many patients. Too little pay. Losing it.

   Hey, all. Allow me to apologise in advance for the negativity. I'm having a tough time at the moment and need to vent. So I'm a new RN who graduated 8 months ago. I was born and raised in the States but have been living in the UK for years and did m...

   Thank you! That's heartening. Did you have paeds and maternity during your studies, though? In the UK we specialise right away, so my degree is just in adult nursing. I did participate in maternity care and some paediatrics during a few clinical plac...

   Hi, all. :) I've made a couple of posts in the past regarding my desire to return home to the US. I'm a California native but have been living in the UK for years and did my nursing degree here. Currently I'm working on an acute surgery and trauma un...

10. Braving the CA BON

    moonmelody replied to moonmelody's topic in Registration

    Yes indeed. I'm going to get all of my paperwork in and see how it goes. I'm more than happy to pay an arm and a leg for the deficiency work because a) due to family matters I really need to come home, and b) it's an investment. The quality of life f...

    The infamous concurrency issue. Fortunately there seem to be a good little handful of schools that are willing to help foreign trained RNs make up the deficiency.

    Do you know of any other impending changes to California's requirements?

13. Braving the CA BON

    moonmelody posted a topic in Registration

    Hi, all. Some months ago I posted about my desire to return to my native California after being in the UK for years and having completed my nursing degree here. We all know that trials and tribulations that come with attempting to gain licensure in C...

14. American trained in the UK!

    moonmelody replied to moonmelody's topic in Immigration

    Tell me about it! From what I have heard, the measures were put in place as a reaction to some Filipino nurses applying for licensure in California with fraudulent documents. So now all foreign trained nurses are required to undertake California-base...

    Did you come to the States before or after 2010? That year seems to have been the turning point for the CA BRN's educational requirements.
