Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

SYeH · Sep 15, 2016

Wooh. Seems like everyone is in the same boat as I am. This whole license process is causing me more stress and anxiety than anything else is. This is my time line for now.

Submitted paperwork 7/18.

Check cashed 8/8.

Missing education hx- sent transcripts

Around 9/1 no longer any delinquencies on my account.

I've been attempting to call the BON with the 916 number and have not been able to get a hold of anyone. States "too busy" and hangs up on me! :confused:

I'm about to call a CA congressman or politician or a lawyer to get this situation up to par. This is ridiculous. They need to have more detailed information. I don't know if my fingerprints are even approved---- WHY is that NOT on their site so we can follow through with it? I'm so frustrated because I have a job lined up, but this is the only thing stalling me from moving out there and starting.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER NUMBERS I CAN USE TO CALL AND SPEAK WITH A HUMAN BEING except the 916 number? I'm visiting Ca next week, and even though I was only going to be in S. CA, I guess I'll be making a trip up to Sacramento to figure out all this stuff. I just hope nothing is missing and that we're waiting on the "processing" of the information. >.

Hi there! I also sent my paper application for endorsement on 07/11 and cashed check on 08/11. Breeze status "pending/open". Whats your status on breeze?

I don't know if this gives any of you a glimmer of hope, but I received an email today from the American Nurses Association (ANA) Ethics division (I had emailed them out of desperation). They sent me an article that they just found concerning the extremely slow and frustrating process at the CBN. It looks like the CBN has hired more help and is possibly processing the applications a bit faster.

:bluecry1:I called the Board today I spoke to &ail, is she the only person that answers the phone by the way? She said my file will be placed on the call log, what exactly does that mean? She wouldn't tell me if any of my information was received. My app was received June 27, she said it was at the end of the month so other apps at the end of the month were still being processed, I have seen July 14 people get their license.

My status online has not changed since I applied, I wonder why they even bother.

Any update for those who got status disappeared recently? I still have pending/open status.

When I called they told me that it was just something breeze did once your application gets to a certain part of processing. So I'm assuming that means they've at least started looking at it.

Yes. When it disappears it means they are actually working on it.

Ronshie · Sep 19, 2016

Hope mine will disappear soon. :yes:Its been pending/open for 9 weeks and havent heard anything from the board.

Hi! Did you use paper or online when you applied for endorsement? Checked the processing time and international is not changing. US is changing every week.

Hi!!

So, I am confused. I see everyone talking about Breeze. I applied for my CA License end of July through the paper application. I have no idea how to keep track of my status. The only thing I access to is the processing times. I call and they say they are receiving too many calls and hang up on me? Do should I do? According to the proccessing times.. They are working on my dates as of this week and working on the temporary license as of last week. Does anyone know anything about temporary license?

Thank you guys!
