Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

U.S.A. California

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 know you posted this years ago! But I am wondering what you mean by the board using your check clearance date as your application start date? How did you know they did this?

I just checked my BreEZe account again today, and I see there is another application submitted yesterday ( 1 month from when I sent my one and only endorsement application) is this what you saw on your BreEZe account?

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! :)

Hello!

Unfortunately - yes you do have to wait for your initial state RN license number to get scanned - as you need to put that on your LiveScan document.

Good luck!

Hi all,

I wanted to post my timeline so that I could be of help to others in search of some sort of reference (although I realize there doesn't seem to be any consistency to any part of this process)

5/8/18 - contacted nursing school to send transcripts (this took a few days for them to gather before they were mailed out)

5/10/18 - submitted online application through Breeze for permanent license, requested Nursys verification

5/22/18 - Manual fingerprint cards delivered to BON, per USPS tracking info (I only filled out one of the cards, sent the other back blank)

7/17/18 - License number posted

9 weeks and 5 days total, from when my online application and payment was processed.

I never contacted the BON, deficiencies were never noted on my account, nor did my status ever go blank or change from open/pending.

My license was processed within the correct processing time frame that is currently posted on their site.

Hope this is helpful to some, and sending positive processing vibes your way!
