I 'm a NEW-RN in Florida but I want to endorse my license in Washington state.

I hope there's somebody tried with same situation and success with there endorsement.

I heard a lot about Washington state / Seattle they are so strict about licensing.

I hope I can get answer from u guys thank u.

You need to apply to the Washington State Board of Nursing; of course Seattle doesn't have it's own BoN so that part doesn't matter ;)

Not sure what you mean about "strict".....if you have a specific concern about something in your background, you should take that up directly with the BoN. Even those who have 'been there, done that' will have a different experience than you will. Individual basis review and all.

If you're concerned about something like CEU's, I'd think that'd be spelled out on the website.

So....in order to help....what IS your concern?

If you are an international educated nurse you need to follow those instructions on the WA BoN website. You can transfer your cgfns CES report for a fee. I believe you must also prove English language competency

hi there!!! thank u for ur comment. actually im a foreign graduate nurse and im immigrated and resident in seattle yah ur right its a WA State BON not seattle. I apply NCLEX licensing exam in florida and want to endorse in WA State BON . But my concern is my husband called the WA state BON and ask about endorsement and the WA State BON said I must have a experience from florida before apply for endorsement to WA State. which is so strange to me and I feel so bad and it really make me confuse because WA state endorsement requirements nothing was written that experience is included.

I don't really know! felt like frustrating.:cry:

Truly, only the WA State BON can answer your questions.

What if someone here gave you incorrect answers and you took action based upon someone's guesses?

You need to forward the results and they must be current. Why not contact WA BoN directly?
