How does Reciprocity works

by arms

Hi, I want to know how reciprocity works. I am planning to move to
Washington from Illinois. I've noticed they have this new online Nursys where you can verify license online with few participating states. How long is the processing of reciprocity of RN-license? If I can get a license in Washington through reciprocity, will my license in Illinois still active so that would mean I will renew two licenses during the renewal period? Thank you.

Reciprocity is only for your NCLEX results what you are actually doing is endorsing your license. You can have as many licenses as you want and to keep them active all you need to do is meet BON requirements when it is time for renewal and any CEU's that may be required. Endorsement with BON can vary in how log it takes as each BON doesn't things differently and can take time

I see, you are right, not reciprocity but license by endorsement. Thank you.

I was able to license by endorsement within 2 weeks - from VT to NH. You have to go online to NURSYS and pay $30 if your states are in the list ---
