Nursing - Will the CA BRN accept a practicing RN x 1 yr & Excelsior Grad?


Nursing 鈥?Will CA BRN allow someone who has been licensed as an RN outside of CA to get a CA License if that person graduated from Excelsior College? I know you cannot directly take the Boards as a 鈥渘ew Grad鈥?from Excelsior. Will the BRN accept someone who has practiced at a California VA (with another state license) for more then a year?

The California BRN does not recognize Excelsior College as meeting their requirements. Even with experience you will need to attend another nursing program for another degree. Since your primary degree is from an on-line college, the CA BRN will probably not accept an online RN to BSN. You should look into getting an RN to BSN. This might be difficult as you cannot use your RN credentials for clinicals during this program.

Contact the CA BRN for advice, however, they would not accept an Excelsior grad with 2 years of experience from another state.

yes go to the calfornia state website
