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

I don't understand how some licenses can be processed already and others still waiting. I submitted mine on May 27th with request for temporary, all paperwork intact including grade transcripts, and still have nothing! The phone system for the BRN, no matter what option you select, cycles you back to the message that call volumes are too high and eventually hangs up on you. Any ideas, please HELP!! We relocated here from Wisconsin and cannot sustain bills very long without my income...and I have lost several job opportunities during this process.

Since you already live in CA, I strongly encourage you to contact your local politicians to help you, their constituent, with problems with the BRN, a state agency. I found that really sped up my application processing time!

When my application status disappeared, my license number appeared in the upper right corner.

I'm really hoping I get my license soon. I might call them up on Tuesday. I still don't see any license number on the upper right corner ;( I'm worried. I'm wondering if this is what happens if there are deficiencies too. I'm checking the breeze site almost 6x a day. It's no longer healthy haha

i actually haven't heard from them since I submitted my application in June 23. I travelled so SFO to do live scan. This is my second application for endorsement. I applied in 2007 with the board and got approval but they didn't give me a license because I didn't have SSN. I'm now working in Washington state as a traveler. Last week I saw my status as pending / open and nothing on the deficiencies which just recently disappeared.

Has anyone recently (with the last month or so) tried applying for endorsement on-line through BreEze? Holy nightmare.

I have been trying--without luck--to enter my previous colleges, and also to print the requisition form for transcripts. I have attempted to print this transcript requisition form from two different computers and two different printers-- all of which are up-to-date. I have tried everything, including saving the document to PDF and Word. None of it prints correctly: upon printing, entire sections and/or line items missing altogether no matter what I do. I am not computer illiterate, so this makes no sense.

Does anyone have any helpful hints? For Pete's sake, I can not even find my college (a well-established, fully accredited U.S. nursing college) in their drop-down list.

I have never encountered any such misery when applying for license by endorsement with any other state.

If you've got a free place to stay, you could at least get your Live Scan prints done in state. The online application wasn't available when I applied so I dropped my application off in person to save time on mail delays. Not sure which route would be best now that you can apply online.

Online would be great, but.

I am attempting to apply online, but I cannot seem to even print the college transcript requisition forms from BreEze. I have tried two different (both are very up-to-date) computers aand printers, and so far the form simply will not print correctly from Breeze. I've tried saving the document into the newest Word and PDF formats on both of my computers. No luck in printing a viable copy...only portions of the original document actually print.

I am dead in the water if I cannot even print out the transcript request form.

Quite frankly I've never come across something like this from a professional state licensing site.
