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

Hi there! When did you apply for endorsement? Did you hear anything from the board?

Nothing yet, I was expecting them to be processing Sept 1-15 this week. I applied on Sept 9. And also yes, I did apply for endorsement. But I don't really think there is going around this concurrency issue they are strictly implementing. When did you apply?

I applied July 11. And just recently received a letter from the board asking my cases. I graduated 2011 btw.

I recently received this in my email from the ANA/C. It's a survey regarding customer satisfaction with the CA BRN. I encourage everyone to fill it out! The CA BRN is THE WORST.

Applied online Sept 9, endorsement from WI. Photo sent online. Nursys used for verification. transcripts from two schools, all sent the same week. Last piece of puzzle, fingerprint cards, sent Sept 19th.

I too was hoping to see "Now processing Sept 1-15" I will be following your posts to compare.

Today, I sent fingerprints for my Florida license by endorsement. I will be going to whichever state comes through first. Gotta get away from Wisconsin for the winter, New traveler here.

Yeah just doing the submission of cases before they ask me. They confirmed it when I went personally to the BRN office. To get the cases, academic calendar and RLE ready so quicker review rather than wait for them to ask for it. I graduated on 2009. Goodluck to us!lol

Arizona processes them way faster though. Not so sure if you would consider AZ for that matter. Mine is from there and my license became active in 3 weeks after submitting lawful presence. Just moved from Canada last month. Should things get longer than expected, I'll try traveling. Is your travel company great?

My wisconsin license is good in arizona. But arizona doesnt interest me. I'll let you know how the agent does after my first assignment. I signed up with 2 agents. One lost my resume and refrences and didnt get back to me for a month, plus fell through on a meeting we were supposed to have. (Totalmed)The other keeps mixing my name up. (Onestaffmedical)

Got a second letter from my analyst asking only 2x2 passport photo which I already completed when I submitted my application last May, and now I have to send them again my photo, just a photo! I don't know but i felt like they are delaying my application. I'm a foreign grad and I started my application last week of May to 1st week of June, up to now I'm still waiting. Take note I also applied for temporary license.

Has anyone had any luck going to the board in person? The board received my application on May 31st, and I have yet to receive a license to date. Last I know it was sent to second review unit, does anyone have any experience with this? I have been offered two positions, but my hands are tied as it has been 4 1/2 almost 5 months and still no license. Each time I call I can barely get a hold of anyone and if by chance I do I get different answers.

I found it helpful to go to the Board in person because I was able to confirm receipt of my transcripts (even though it said "missing education history" on my Breeze status since a reviewer hadn't verified all the coursework was complete yet). I didn't know that that's why an account would say "missing" even though it was received so that set me at ease. They also seem to be better about checking to make sure other items have been received than the people on the phone.
