How long for TX APRN license!

Specialties NP

Published

I have already applied for TX APRN license. Few things completed like application pt 1, pt 2, unofficial transcript. TX BON will receive my official transcript this week. Do I need my board certification for getting license? What is the time frame generally? I received my RN license in 3-4 weeks altogether which was not at all bad.

Thanks.

You typically don't need the board certification. They may request verification of program from your program director if you don't have it yet. It takes average of 4-8weeks depending on what the 'nurse reviewer' needs again! You can't talk to anyone on phone (APRN unit) you have to leave voicemail or send email which takes 2-3days to get response....that's what makes it longer!

Goodluck!

Thank you so much Tesses. Here is the snapshot of my application. Why the "certification of approval listed there"? Thanks.

That means they need it then. See the copy &paste info from their site. The nurse reviewer puts in all kinds of requirements. Just check everyday to see if any new thing added so you can stay abreast of it all. I will say you email it to them so you can refernce the email when you try to get update on it.

Please submit a legible photocopy of your current national certification document demonstrating that you hold current certification/recertification in the advanced practice role and population focus area for which you are applying. Your national certification/recertification document must include an expiration date. You may submit this information via:

Fax Number:*512-305-8101*

E-mail Address:*[email protected]*

Mailing Address:

Texas Board of Nursing, Attn: APRN Office

333 Guadalupe, Suite 3-460

Austin, TX 78701

Please be sure to include your name and RN license number or Social Security number on your correspondence to our office. Please be aware that if the document is illegible due to fax transmission or photocopying issues, we will request that you resubmit this document. Illegible documents or documents that do not bear an expiration date may delay application processing and approvals.
