RN License Reciprocity...


Hi Guys,

For those who have experience in doing this...

I have to be licensed in OH prior to starting NA school. Do I have to contact the CA BRN or OH BRN for reciprocity? I'm not quite sure how to do this.

Any input will help.


V.

Default reciprocity
I was originally licensed in NY and moved to PA 3 years ago. It wasn't too difficult a matter to be licensed in PA. If I remember correctly, I called the PA State Board of Nursing to find out about the process. They sent me a packet of information and forms to fill out. It didn't take very long, and the cost was around $200. Good luck!

Call the OH BON or go online for an application. You may also have to get an application at www.nursys.com since OH is part of the nursys system. What this means is that you will send Nursys $30 or so and they will send OH BON all your info about past licenses within that system. The website may explain it better, but it is for license verification and status etc. You may still need to obtain verification of licensure from another state if it is not part of Nursys.

I would start by going to the OH BON website and finding out what you will need for license by endorsement. I have never been licensed in OH so I can't give you specifics, but I have moved around enough to know that almost all BON are a pain to deal with anyway. Good luck.

I found the OH BON protocols for licensure a little "difficult" to deal with - considerably more frustrating than some other states I have been licensed in. Whether you are needing a "temporary" license or permanent, it was a bit more challenging to say the least. I would encourage you to get a good head start on it just so you don't run it close and have difficulties because of it. If I recall, I think everything you need (forms & Info) is available online via their website.

Wow! I guess I shouldn't start a reply and take a break - others have already covered it pretty well! I don't recall my situation going smoothly or being "fast". Maybe they have streamlined things since I did mine?

Very easy. You want endorsement not reciprocity since you only graduated a few years ago and took the NCLEX exam. Just download the form from Ohio Board of Nursing and send in documents required along with fees.
That is it.

Good luck with school........................

It turns out that CA is not a part of the Nursys system. So, I didn't apply online for it. I filled out the Ohio BON endorsement for licensure application instead.

Thanks!

OMG. Is this a joke?
I'm sorry. I know this slang-teen thing is how some kids are talking to one another, but come on. You will get more responses and will be taken more seriously if you write like an adult when you address them in a forum like this.
