That's a question for local board, your potential employer or a lawyer. We cannot give you that kind of information. Best of Luck.

we're sorry, but you will need to check this out with your certifying body and/or the ny bon.

the members of allnurses.com cannot assist you in this matter.

here is a link to the ny bon: http://www.op.nysed.gov/nurse.htm

Sorry we can't provide that information as each case is handled on its own merit. Best bet to contact your licensing dept.
