There is a lot of confusion about licensure issues/procedures. When we speak of "endorsing" a license to another state, if has nothing to do with
transferring a license (as many people seem to think). You are applying for a new license in the new state, and will still have your previous license (until its expiration date, and you can choose at that time to renew it or let it lapse). You can maintain as many different state licenses as you are willing to pay for.
