Transfer of license?


I am an LPN, soon to be RN, just waiting to take boards. I currently live in Indiana, which sadly is not a compact state. Have any of you transferred your license from a non compact state into TN? How long of a process am I looking at?

I should add, I have read through the TN BON website and know how to go about it, but find nothing about the timeframes. Seeking advice from those who have been there done that.

TIA

Default Re: Transfer of license?
It took me about 4 weeks to get a response. My home state of California is slow in processing info and that seemed to be the major hang up. If you have your info, transcrips, diploma etc. it may be faster to take them directly to the Nashville office.

You can download the application from their website. They accept check payment. They will provide a list of fingerprint and background check facilities. Do all of this before you submit your application. Anything incomplete tends to get lost in the shuffle. Good luck.
