Applying for NY licensure from NJ

Published

I took my boards in Jersey and passed. I just got my license number so I plan to apply for licensure to NY also. Which forms do I fill out? 1 and 3? Just want to clarify that.

Or is there another way to apply for reciprocity? Hope someone can help me out.

I actually just got hired at a hospital here in Jersey, but plan to work per diem in the city like in a nursing home on weekends I don't work at the hospital.

If the 2 states are in the compact license agreement then you can work on your NJ license as long as you maintain a permanent residence in NJ whilst working in NY. Otherwise just follow the instructions on the NY BON website on endorsing a license
