DEA license in Texas

Published

Hi y'all,

I'm currently licensed in Texas as an FNP - I'm still looking for my first job and was wondering if I should wait until I have a job to obtain my DEA license? I was going through the DEA application and they are asking for my practice location which I do not have. Should I put my home address? I was talking to some of the NPs here and they said that you'd need a supervising physician in TX to obtain your DEA license. Any ideas? TIA!

And yes, you will need a collaborative physician or you will lose your $888. Just wait for your first job.
