Endorsement & Temporary Practice Permit in PA - timeframe?

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

I'm a NJ RN and I've applied for endorsement in PA with a temporary practice permit.

I sent in all the paperwork, check, paid nursys to verify my license, and my school sent my official transcript to the board. The PA board should receive everything in the mail by Monday.

Anyone know approximately how long this process takes? I have an interview next week, and if all goes well, they would want me to start on April 8th. But I need to have my TPP for PA to start orientation. I'm hoping I can go to the interview and be able to say "I should have it by then."

I know the NJ BON is notoriously slow, but if you are persistent with calling/emailing or if you show up in person, they'll issue your license. Is PA like this too?

I have been waiting for my license by endorsement for over 2 months now. I chose no for a TPP on my original application. Is there anyway to go back and apply for a TPP now?
