We have found students often receive the permit after they receive their actual nursing license. o If you are applying by mail, please note that the university will have to mail in your application along with a transcript. You will need to request a transcript from CSU Stanislaus. You will need to attach the PHN Application in the transcript submission. The university will mail your application and transcript directly to the board.
