Hi everyone! I just passed my NCLEX-PN in FL & was wondering if anyone can give me info on how or what is needed to endorse my license to TX since I am moving there soon. Thanks!

The Texas Board of Nursing website is very informative. I had no problems endorsing my RN license from CA to TX by just getting the information off of the website.
Thank you! I will look into it.
Did u need to change your license to TX before endorsing?

A license cannot be 'changed.' You currently have a Florida license, so you would need to follow the steps to obtain a Texas nursing license by endorsement.
Your Florida license will not 'change' into a Texas license. You will hold two nursing licenses, one issued by the Florida Board of Nursing and the other granted by the Texas Board of Nursing. Once you relocate to Texas you can choose to keep your Florida license or allow it to lapse.
