FENS Refresher Course

I graduated from a nursing school in the Philippines year 2010. I've had 3 years of hospital experience as an RN and 2 years as a CNA (in Australia).

I passed my NCLEX-RN last year and I am registered under New Mexico with a single state license since I am a foreign nurse.

I recently got engaged. I am planning to endorse my license to Texas as it is where my fiancé is stationed.

My question is: Will they require me to take the FENS? or will I just need to pass the Nursing Jurisprudence exam (one of the requirements of TX BON) so I can get my Multi-state license?

Thank you!

    FENS if you haven't practiced (for pay) as a registered nurse in the past 4 years. But only the BoN can say die certain

    You are only eligible for a compact multi state license if you live in TX and are considered a legal resident (have a physical residence, drivers license, etc). If you live in any other state or country you get a single state license until you move to TX permanently. If you declare TX as your state of residence you must notify NM as you can only have one compact multi state license and it must be the state where you live.
