Relocation and state licenses?
1 post back to top |
Posted over 4 years ago My licenses are for the state of Oklahoma, if I were to relocate to Texas where would I start on getting my licenses for Texas. Is it a matter of taking another test or will I have to retake the course? |

| Posted over 4 years ago When I apply for a license in another state I go to that states Board of Nursing site and check what they want, print thier application and go from there. I've also called some states and requested an application, but that was before the internet. Then dig deep in your pocket for all the application fees. I have never had to take a test to transfer my license. Please don't pay any attention to my misspelled words or typos. Sorry I'll try harder next time. |

| Posted over 4 years ago Once you take nclex it is good for all states. What you must do is check with the state that you are planning on relocating, to see what they want you to do to transfer your license. Some states require that you have CEU's on a specific topic. I think Florida requires you to have CEU's on HIV everytime you renew your license. Of course as said in above post there may be fees you need to pay to transfer your license. So I would look up the Texas Board of Nursing and if you can't find what you need on their website then call them- their number should be located on their website. |

| Posted over 4 years ago You will have to check with the Texas Board of Nursing as to what exactly they require.. I've done some research on transfering between Ohio and North Carolina, and you have to apply for licensure by endorsement (you don't have to take a test).. then pay a fee, have a background check, submit some form of proof that you finished school (a transcript maybe), and have a current unrestriced license, along with the application. You don't normally need to retake the NCLEX. |
