Just an FYI for any nurse thinking about traveling to CA that doesn't already have license:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective Monday, August 10, 2009 - The Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) will not issue a Temporary License or Interim Permit until the processing of fingerprints is completed by the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and have notified the BRN of the results. This will result in no Temporary Licenses or Interim Permits being issued at the counter, unless the processing of fingerprints have been completed. The BRN is sorry for any inconvenience that this might cause.
