question regarding endorsement

[royz23]

I am currently have NM license and i want to endorse it to CA, there is an additional requirement for international graduate that you a need a proof of passage needed to submit and i don't know what form i will use or i'll just provide a letter to my current state and then they will send it to CA. i know that there is a fee for this because NM will forward this proof to CA but any idea how much this will be? and im looking at nursys site right now, is it better to go online or send my application thru mail? kinda lost...

im looking at it this way:

>endorsement application = BON CA

>license verification = BON NM

>additional passage proof = ???

>Nursys verification form = BON NM or NCSBN?

i'm lost totally on their instruction regarding that verification of license and nursys form.

If you did not get licensed in Guam but only physically wrote it there, then Guam has nothing to do with anything. They are interested in the state that you wrote the exam for, not the locale of where it was written.

They are interested in knowing from the original state where you were licensed for, this is what this means. If you do not actually hold a license for Guam, then they have nothing to do with it.

If you did not write it for the BON of Guam, then there is no reason to get anything from them as they will not have any records of you there.

Ok I got it now. Thanks Suzanne4!

You are quite welcome.

Locale of taking the test has no bearing on anything, only the state that you wrote it for, or the US territory that it was written for.

Best of luck to you.

Can anyone give me an idea on how long do I have to wait till I contact the Board of Nursing regarding the status of my application? I filed and sent in my application for Licensure by Endorsement to the Ca BON last week and until now, I have not received any news or confirmation whether they have received my application or not. Can I call now to follow up on it or is it too soon to do that?

Thanks!

You are looking at approx 4 months for Ca to give eligibility

You are endorsing a license, so you will just have to wait for them to process things. There is no eligibility to wait for since you have already written the exam. The biggest hold up is usually your school getting the transcripts to them.

When one lives in the US, then they usually receive the permanent license in about six weeks; but out of the country and you need to tack on a few weeks.

It normally takes about two weeks from the time that they receive your application until it makes it to a file for you; it is not done the day that they receive it.

And for each notification that they send out, then the equal amount of time in delaying processing of the file. They do not have extra people on staff for this.

If you already have a SSN#, you can actually take a drive up to CA BRN office in Sacramento and get a temporary license issued that day to you if you need it right away. AZ is in Nursys so this would be no problem to do and you can do the LiveScan that day if it is not already done.

Hello.

CA Board does require verification of passage of appropriate exam in addition to verification of license. (For international graduates only).

What form do I use for that - I have know idea

If someone has underwent licensure by endorsement recently and nursys.com verification was all CA BoN needs - that would be great!

I have current and active MN license and I have SSN.
