Yeah, I am aware about any state license can be used for VA. Anything federal. I was just looking into it as a possibility to moonlight closer to home...VA is a little bit of a drive. Why wouldn't I want to call attention to my case? Curious.

Hey all! I've got a burning question that nobody around these parts can answer, and of course the BON is long to answer. I am currently living in CA, but I went to school in TX and passed NCLEX. When I read the steps for endorsement in CA, it says something to equivalent to CA school education? When I was in school, my mother-in-law (NICU nurse c 35+ years) always crabbed about the differences, and how CA was hard to get an endorsement. I looked at my niece's school (she is BSN at Sonoma State), and the only difference I can see is CA has an extra Med Surg class, but they covered the same things in three classes that we covered in two. Guess that's the whole busy work thing. Anyway, anybody have any thoughts/ideas? I'm planning on doing psych nursing at VA, but I just wanted to have more options with having endorsement in CA. Thanks all!
