CA LVN endorsement into Texas

Published

Hello there, so I was wondering if anyone has recently endorsed into Texas from CA? Ive been an LVN here in CA for 5 years and was looking into moving to Texas, but the Texas BON states a minimum requirement of 10 years actively working as a LVN before allowing an endorsement. Is this new? I sure hope I'm reading the requirement wrong. Someone please help me!

You only need ten years of experience to endorse if you want exemption from board rule 217.5.

Good Luck! Your scope of practice will be expanded quite a bit in Texas.
