[QUOTE who="mooseman_77 in Massapequa, New York"]Hello,
Ok, this is to anybody from NY who was able to get a CLS license in California:
I have 3 degrees; Bachelors in Biology , Masters in Clinical Microbiology, and a second Bachelors in Clinical Lab Science (NAACLS approved program). I am ASCP Cerified and NYS Licensed working in NYC at a Clinical lab doing Chemistry for the last 2 years. I was also the Laboratory Manager of the Biomed Science Dept at my University for 4 years while getting my second bachelors. I want to move California. My rotations were stretched out over a year but the hours within that year wont add up to 12 months of rotations. Plus I have 3 credits (One class) of Physics. Are you telling me with all this background, they wont see me as a candidate? There has to be a New Yorker out there who has been able to grab this brass ring we all seem to be shooting for. If you are there, do my credentials suffice? I don't wanna get let down and lose 230 bucks on an application I know will be dead in the water. Insight? Help? Oh, one more thing. My Clinical Chem courses included instrumentation training. Would that fulfill the light and electricity course that they talk about?[/QUOTE]
Its really not as hard to get the license as people make it out to be. Submit all your stuff to LFS and ask what they need and follow up periodically. It'll take about 3-6 months.
Btw CA is very expensive though, and the transit isnt as good as NYC. I hope pay isnt your motivating factor to move to CA.
