Endorsement

U.S.A. Maryland

Published

Hello all

i am a nurse from Nepal. I passed nclex Rn exam on January 2015. But I could not work due to visa issues. I graduated from my nursing school in 2011.

i moved to Maryland and I have work permit now. While endorsing Maryland board says either you should have worked for 1000hrs in the last five years or the graduation should not be for more than 5 years.

I have not worked and I graduated in 2011, I don't know if they will let me endorse to MD without RN refresher course, but I had Rn license for 17 months only. I tried contacting Mdbon but they don't answer. Please let me know what should I do.

thanks

You probably should take the trip to Baltimore and talk to them in person. See if they have an email address for enquiries as well. You should look into the classes as well. Are you currently working in Healthcare in some capacity? I would look into doing that if you haven't done so already. The nursing jobs are plenty, but a lot of the facilities are now requiring that a nurse have a bachelor's degree or at least in school to obtain one. I have an ADN. I was only offered one interview since I graduated in December. The other facilities turned me down because I didn't have a bachelor's degree, including my own hospital that I have been working at for 12 years. Luckily, I got the job I interviewed for. I didn't have any other option. I would definitely look into enrolling in a BSN program soon if you don't have a bachelor's. Hope it works out for you. Welcome to the DMV! Good luck....
