I wrote and passed the NCLEX in 1998 and was originally licensed in Minnesota. Then through endorsement I got my Texas license in 1998 and my Florida license in 1999.

Does this mean one must have actively practised in the US in the last 2 of the 3 preceeding years or just practiced without actions against the license?
Any ideas? Can I apply for endorsement?

Have you actually spoken to someone with the board to see if you have to re-endorse or if you just have to do a late renewal. One could be done online as vs the other having to be done via mail. Also most those mandatory classes are available online as well.
