Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

Published

I am interested to hear anyones experience in endorsing their license into CA. I used the online endorsement as well as the livescan fingerprinting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Im not sure. I called the week prior just for a general status update on my application and that's when they informed me that they were still working on April applicants. It took a couple of days after that call before my status changed from "missing education history" to "open". I'm not really sure if my call about the status was beneficial to the status change or if it was good timing. My check was cashed June 23 so it's been over a month, maybe it was just time. Hope that helps!

But what if your status says open AND missing education history? Does anyone else have this or experienced it?

That's what mine says right now. I assume that's normal?

I am in the opposite boat as you guys and was wondering if anyone had any info.... I am a California licensed RN trying to get endorsement to another state. Since California does not participate in the Nursys verification system, I had to mail a form to the Ca board of nursing for them to mail to Pennsylvania. Website says it takes 8-10 weeks to process, anybody ever tried doing this?

I feel your pain. I was planning to apply for NY,NV and CA license. I was forewarned that its best to get the other license s first(NY and NV) because it will cost $60 for CA verification and it takes for ever for it to be done. I didnt really think my CA license would could in that fast and now I have my NY application and will have to come up with $60 and wait 6-8 wks for verification to come through. I am now thinking to let NY application go.

Specializes in ICU / PCU / Telemetry / Oncology.

I had to verify my CA license to CT. Mailed out verification form to California on Jan 31, Connecticut did not get it until @ April 5, my license was issued a day or two later. Just to give you an idea of how long it took me.

Tammi, my application says open as well with nothing else. Called today morning and was shocked when they told me they will look at it in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Mailed application mid May, open date on breeze is 6.9.15 and cheque cashed on 6.12.15. She says she cannot even tell if anything is missing since nobody has looked at the application (almost fell of chair when she said that). Am just trusting the Lord now for patience.

Its been a long journey that's for sure. Still waiting and its been 7 weeks since my check was cashed June 23. I was able to verify that they have my fingerprints and nursys but I still have no idea about my transcripts. Looks like me and you are on the same timeframe. I'm hoping to have my license by the end of this month because I move from TX mid September. It would be nice to start applying for positions soon. Very frustrated! I thought for sure that it wouldnt take 2 months

Hi everyone! Just joining the thread! I sent all of my stuff in for CA licensure by endorsement on 7/24 and my check was cashed yesterday 8/13. Breeze still says "no licensing information." I have tried calling the board to verify that they have received everything, but can't seem to ever get through to anyone. I sent in a hard copy fingerprints and did the Livescan while in CA last week. Any advice?

I JUST RECEIVED MY TEMPORARY LICENSE NUMBER!

It only took 22 days from the day I hand turned it in On July 23rd! :woot: I am acutally very stunned right now omg....

I received an e-mail to confirm my e-mail address today and sure enough when I logged onto breeze, I saw a temporary license number. But I still have an area where it says missing education. Should I call to make sure? Does this mean I can start applying for jobs now?! Ahhh.....

My advice is to sit and be patient. Usually every time I call it take 5-10x before I am able to reach anyone. My check was cashed June 23 and they STILL have yet to look at transcripts or verify if they have been received. They were however able to verify my livescan fingerprints and TX license but that took a month after my check was cashed. They are still working on May applicants so it might be awhile before anything happens to yours. Hope this helps!
