California License Cheat Sheet Request

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. I am looking for your absolute best advice on how to obtain a California license as fast as possible. Please let me know what tips have helped you expedite the process for you.

-I already paid the initial fees and have requested Nursys to verify my other licenses.

-I am from NY and will be flying to Sacramento BON nursing office. Should I just request my unofficial transcripts be mailed to me and hand deliver them?

-For out of state people, did you have to make an appointment to do your finger prints?

-ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.
