How do I get started in being an RN in the CA? BSN diff country in 2012, local RN license in 2013, OR, L&D and PACU nurse in a hosp in 2014. Quit my job & moved in CA in 2018. Passed NCLEX and got my RN license in Nov 2023.

Endorsement,I graduated 2013 overseas too,since u already passed NClex u will have to endorse it to California.CA will ask for your transcript and transcript breakdown from your school to send to them and then passport and a few other documents,look it up on their website.My advice is gather all the documents and requirements and submit them at once.It could take months to years if u keep missing items,good luck .FYI im in CA too
