The answer is yes.  You can get your license by endorment.  Contact the board of nursing for the state of California and let them know that you already have a license from Hawaii, but would also like to practice as an R.N. in California.  Just to let you know I'm a C.N.A. that  with the following : CA, CT, HI, OK, and two pending/one from NY, the other from PA.  All by endorment and proof that I've worked at least 8 hours within the last two years as a C.N.A.  In my case I've worked for the past 20 plus years.  Again check with the board to be sure if you can do so since there is a difference between the two, but I'm pretty sure you can do it.  Good Luck!
