Questions about california RN license application

[nurselove757]

Hello,

I am doing the online version of the application. I am confused whether I should apply for the finger print card first then then submit the application. Or do I submit the application and request the fingerprint card through it - and then I will receive it sometime in the mail. I do not see clear instructions on this. I live in the state of Illinois.

I think I requested mine at the time I applied online...but there was some sort of complication and I actually ended up flying there to do live scan. Good luck. The California BON is slow and infuriating.

I know, I'm confused even after reading all the instructions. This information that I asked is missing. I called them plenty of times, there's a voicemail stating they are not taking any phone calls at this time.

Yep. They don't answer the phone. I think I blocked out the fine details, but there were two sets of contradictory instructions for the fingerprints and I followed the wrong one.
