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

Do you know how long this took for you to be able to see your license updates. I turned mine application in person, and my check has been cashed but nothing :(

Hey when did you turn it in?

I believe they have to enter you information in the system first. Hopefully they work on it soon.

I finally got my license!

Method: Online, Application by Endorsement

Fingerprinting: Livescan (flew from Missouri to CA)

Date Submitted: 07/09/17

Temporary: Yes

Approximate processing time per BON: 8-10 weeks for temporary

Received license #: 09/22/17, total of 10 weeks & 5 days

The funny thing is, they still haven't processed my temporary license and it still says "pending" but I now have my RN license # on the upper right hand screen of the Breeze website.

Be patient, my friends!!

I applied for RN licensure by endorsement in Nov 2016. I received my temp RN license 8 weeks later, just as stated on the BRN website. I received my permanent RN license a few weeks after that.

I applied for California NP licensure at the end of June and received my NP license 10 weeks later, just as stated on the BRN website.

Hello everyone,

I am waiting on my RN license by endorsement. Applied around mid of august . They took my money off the end of last month. FYI I paid for my temp license ( wish I hadn't). My online status says " missing education history". Not able to get them on the phone . I have been trying religiously every morning but no luck. I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to get in touch with them. I have even emailed them 😨

Thanks

How long was it from when they got your license to when they cashed your check? They have had my app since 9/27 and have not cashed my check yet!

Hello everyone!

This is just a follow-up on my endorsement status. I applied for endorsement mid-August through mail. My information was entered in their system by October 10th and cashiered the check on the same date. Online status says open/pending with missing education history. November 13th, I checked my breeze account : missing education history was removed...still keeping my fingers crossed!

October 3: Transcripts Sent

October 6: Passed NCLEX in different state

October 13: Hand delivered app to BON in Sacramento

October 17: Processed in Breeze with "missing education history

December 11: Missing education history status removed

December 19: Breeze says one of my transcripts was missing

December 20: Called BON, emailed lady working on my case, transcript found. RN number posted 3 hours later

So approximately 2 months total. Not really sure if hand delivering application made anything faster, but it was a fun road trip and provided a peace of mind knowing that everything was physically turned in and roughly checked by woman at front desk.

This forum has been super helpful! Grateful for such a supportive community!

Quick question, do we have to wait until we have our RN License# in the first state before we get our Live Scan done? Taking my NCLEX in a couple weeks, and I know it takes time for the RN# to be posted after. I believe the form asks for an RN #

Also, does it really save time to hand deliver the application to the Sacramento office rather than mailing overnight?

If anyone knows, it would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much! :)
