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

Hey!!! So, when I looked online, the processing times fall under my date of application. So, then I went into Breeze to check the status of my application- no longer says pending/open for my application, BECAUUUUSEEEE TOP RIGHT CORNER IT SAID MY CA RN LICENSE NUMBER!!!!! AHHHHH. The amount of stress I was under---I'm surprised I wasn't hospitalized this past two weeks. I've had break down after break down after breakdown. Crying at work, crying at home, panic attacks on my way to work, panic attacks at work, during work, after work, before work. Now, I can BREATH EEZE (see what I did there?) :) Soooooo basically.... My application was received July 18, 2016 and I received my License September 19, 2016 !! 2 months exactly ... although felt like a century and a half.

YOU GUYS WILL GET THERE TOO!!! Just make sure you're not missing anything from your paperwork.

SYeH, did you do a live scan or send in a hard card? I mailed a hard card several weeks ago, but I think I may drive down to CA to just go ahead and do a live scan if it will speed up the process.

Just an update: I received my permanent license in the mail today, just a little over 8 weeks from when I sent everything in. I'm not sure what the secret is to a quick turnaround time, but I understand the stress this is causing some of you. I signed a contract in CA without knowing how long it would take to get the license and fearing that I would end up down there without being able to work. Good luck to those of you who are still patiently waiting! It'll happen!

Brandon, thanks to both you and SYeH for the encouraging updates. Did you live scan or hard card?

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!

Hi there! I dont know anything about the temporary license but if you want to check your status you have to sign up breeze account.

So last Thursday I called asking about my status totally disappearing from Breeze. I was told that it was just a default action once the application is being processed. I was then told that a "letter" had been generated the day before saying that I was missing my verification from my home state. Two different people from the Alabama BON said that it was sent on 7/26/16. I entered panic mode and had Alabama send another verification (they send their verifications electronically, but not through NURSYS). I sent an email to the DCA, left a voicemail for a supervisor, and even had an IT person that works on breeze send an email on my behalf. CA BON said that I would be put on a "call log", whatever that means, about the missing verification. I don't want to be on a call log, I've paid for it to be sent twice, and no one I talk to seems to have a resolution. Anyone else been in this boat? How long did it take them to resolve it?

Congrats! When did you send your application? Did you apply online?

I did not apply online. I did do livescan though. I also did my verification process through nursys.

I mailed out my application last week of July. My check was cashed out mid August.

Thank you!

And Good luck eveyone!

I was put on a call log on Friday I have no idea what that means. Did you speak to ----------------- She said she'd print my app and give it to a supervisor. :(
