RN License endorsement to California

Published

For foreign graduates, has anyone tried endorsing your license to California recently? Did you still take the required units for your deficiencies?

Yes. They are waiving deficiencies due to COVID now but mostly part I read if you have concurrency issues. It really depends on the analyst and education eh. 

Hi there, 

I’ve applied for licensure by endorsement to Cali d/t being a spouse relocating (PCS) with my military husband. What facebook group did you see that they are still waving deficiencies until 6/2021? The only deficiency I’m sure I will have is Microbiology with lab d/t the fact that VA didn’t require me to take that course. I recently took the RN NCLEX back in July 2020 after being an LPN since 2013. I’m getting anxious because we are scheduled to move on July 8 and was hoping I would get my endorsement license by then. However, I’m just learnt of these requirements that I may or may not need. Thank you for your response in advance.

Hi. Yes, the group is mostly for international nurses called California Board of Nursing - Foreign Graduates but they are basing their info here: https://www.dca.ca.gov/licensees/dca_20_102.pdf. Also, someone posted this May that she is deficient with Microbiology with lab as well.

I see, thank for your response. I just read the waiver that retains to clinical hours which I do have all mines. I’m just missing the Microbiology with lab. Im sad they might require me to take the course. However since I’m just missing that class will I qualified for temporary license? I didn’t think I needed it so I didn’t include it with my initial application.

Possibly. For temp. license, read here. https://www.RN.ca.gov/applicants/lic-faqs.shtml. If you did your education in the US, they might ?waive your deficiency.

Thank you so much for your quick response. You ease my anxiety a lot. My education is in the U.S. I was actually born in CA but moved away in my teens. Thank you again for all your help. I’ll just wait it out and wait to hear from an analyst.

$799 is expensive but mines was not quite as much since it’s not an international endorsement. I was born in the US and have a nursing license in another state. It’s still a long process.

I graduated back in the Philippines but I've been an RN here in the US for more than 10yrs now, I was wondering if it's still international endorsement? But I already paid, just curious if its that much.

Did you go to nursing school was in the Philippines? Honestly, I’m not sure because I went to school in the US. However, it might be that much since you’re still considered as an international student. ??‍♀️

Hi. Any update?

Did you guys get your CA license yet? My endorsement application was approved last June. I waited 2 months and 2 weeks from the date I submitted the application. I didn’t receive any deficiency from my evaluator (I didn’t even get to know who my evaluator was). I just uploaded everything they might ask from me while waiting for them to review my application.
