RN and NP Student from MI; when to move to CA?

Published

I am in my third semester of NP school and have been a nurse for about 5 years in a hospital. I want to move to California when I graduate from NP school. I attend U of Cincinnati online program, which is recognized by CA for NP licensure. I understand the CA BON process for RN licensure is lengthy, so I am considering that process soon. As I consider organizing a move, my question is one of advice, as I am wondering the opportunities for new grad NPs in CA.

I can't speak for NP opportunities. As far as endorsing, IMO start the endorsement process as soon as you are licensed. You do not physically have to be in California in order to do this.
