Hi all,

So here is where I am.  I am a Flight Paramedic in Texas with many years of experience.  I would like to earn my RN and as I work full time and have kiddos, EC is really attractive to me.  I know of all the issues with EC and California.  I have family living there and long term would love to take a travel assignment in CA.

So what I am wondering is this- If I start with my ADN at EC and then have both RN experience and get a online BSN (looking at UT Arlington) what do you think my chances of CA licensure are?  Any experiences?  I have already applied and had my eval with EC and it looks great, I really dont want to shoot myself in the foot for later though.

Thanks all

[Lisa, RN]

The California Board of Nursing will always look at the initial source of your RN licensure, which would be Excelsior, so an RN-to-BSN completion isn't really a "loophole." They say they'll consider EC grads on a "case-by-case" basis, but you really can't count on it, even with all the great experience you have.

I did EC's program as a paramedic, and have completed my BSN through an RN-to-BSN program. Sometimes I'm tempted to try to endorse into CA just to see what happens. LOL
