I've had the pleasure of working with the BVNPT to keep my license current for the last 10 years. I've renewed 5 times, and Blanca was super helpful this last time. I've never had a problem getting someone to take my call, I've walked in and was treated well, and BREEZE online is such a lifesaver when you need to renew.

Horrible customer care, unable to summit paperwork online and they take days to reply to messages (that's if you lucky enough for them to reply)

I moved from Cali to Texas a couple years ago,back then I did no like Cali board of nursing ,but after lived in Texas a couple years,I realized cali board is way much better than Texas board.If you think cali board is horrible ,wait until you came cross texas board.

Psych Tech License Renewal problem. Accidentally gave the wrong answers to the question "Is this your first renewal?" Should've answered, No, but accidentally put Yes. License won't renewed. Less than a week left on my license. My mean boss breathing down my neck. ;-) Called BVNPT, exchanged emails with Ericka Houston & Rudy Davis. Everything was done in the very next day! Superb service!! Much much improvement in almost 20 years dealing with BVNPT. Thank you so much guys! Keep up the great job!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It is just so frustrating! So what's the point of having a phone line. 😡😡😡😡

How many LVNs had enforcement cases illegally mishandled / rigged / or otherwise suffered abuses? How widely was case data illegally shared? Consumer Affairs DOI began an investigation in 2015, and no affected nurses or PTs were ever notified.

You can apply as a method 2 - equivalent education. You will be required to have your school submit official transcripts and will need to obtain a professional credentials evaluation report. Please refer to the Board's website for further details.

Apply with their nursing board as an endorsement

Has anyone obtained a temporary vocational license? I paid for the licnence online but it is taking too long and have an employee waiting for me. If so what was the process and was there a fee?

I also applied online for my license to be an inactive and then I realized I should have applied active so I changed my mind and try to apply for active,. And it wouldn't let me besides that I have to pay, for an inactive license . It's been over a year now and I haven't heard from the Board of Nursing nor have I gotten any inactive card in the mail

No it won't!! Each state requires you to get a license in their own state

Hi! Where to get the post card? Is it the paper where "confrmation received" filled out through UPS when the papers were recived by the board?

Abigail Ridual-Eugenio | Sep 11, 2018
Jennifer Mayo Scott | Sep 11, 2018

You are supposed to send a self addressed stamped postcard with your application 🙂

Where do you get a copy of a high school diploma after graduating in 1981? How unreasonable is it to request this to obtain LVN LICENSE in Ca?

Stephanie Pellegrino | Sep 11, 2018
Joshua Oquist | Sep 11, 2018

I have never heard of this, what does your HS diploma have to do with your Nursing education, which you obviously received if your applying for a nursing license.

How do i print out an application for replacement licence form?

Rocio Medina | Sep 11, 2018
BAD | Sep 11, 2018

The best way to do it as call and find out. There is a tech support you can contact.

I took 2 semesters of psych tech classes 30 years ago. Do you think these units are still good to transfer into a current PT program?

Mary Nordskog | Sep 11, 2018
B Z | Sep 11, 2018

In general, classes have to be taken in 5 years or less to be transferable. Anything after, you have to retake it. My guess is no?

Does any one out there know if an LVN can bridge as a LPT? Where would it be best place to start to get more accurate information. All feetbaclk is appreciated.

Patricia Sanchez | Sep 11, 2018
Judy Wetch | Sep 11, 2018

No actual bridge but because the training is almost the same and if you have experience as an LVN I believe that you can challenge the boards. Good luck.

I have a California LVN license for many years.I am going to stay in Texas several months of the year, as well as calif. If I apply for a Texas license, can I keep my California license?

Fae Sargeant | Sep 11, 2018
Gabriela Mota | Sep 11, 2018

Ues you can just make sure to not forget to renew them as required

My LVN license was stolen, how do I go about getting a replacement?...tried calling and can never get through and I tried the site but it doesn't have that option.

Susa Briones | Sep 11, 2018
Rebecca Reaves | Sep 11, 2018

The boards no longer issues pocket cards. Everything is managed through the Breeze verification online. Our licenses can be verified through Breeze. I would say go there directly but since they no longer issue cards, I'm not sure it would solve anything ...hope this helps!
