Some of you familiar with California and Excelsior College know that Excelsior graduates have been locked out of the state. This really bites, because I wanted to eventually work in California a few months out of the year.
Will I still be able to work a few months out of the year in California if I keep my license and address in Tennessee?
I'm so confused about this.

Unless you were in their program before the cut-off date, you will not be able to get a license to work in California. It has nothing to do with where you live or have a license, but that EC is not accepted in CA. So they will not issue you a license. You need to have a California license to be able to work in CA. Your home state license has no bearing on you working in CA.
I'm so bummed out over this...and everywhere I look I keep seeing Excelsior pop-ups, my Excelsior CPNE guide in my bookcase, I am seeing Excelsior everywhere I look...like some kind of thing following me around taunting me...na na na na na...I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, I can't get away from it!
I think I need to take a break the rest of the evening. I'm scaring myself a little.
