Ga Board of Nurses by Endorsement questions & Frustrations

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hi, just wanted to vent first. I am trying to transfer my license to Ga. Every time I call them with a question, I am put on hold from 30min to an hour. I'm trying to get my questions organized so I don't need to call them back but Grrrrr.... Just had a few more questions and have been on hold for 50 minutes so far.

My question... If my current state participates in Nursys do I need to send that paperwork to my state that they require (proving you are licensed... Sending it to the state where you are licensed)? Should I turn my application in before I register for the website to get fingerprinted? The lady u talked with at cogentin or whatever it's called said usually you get your app in first bc fingerprints only last for 30 days. What else should I print with my application? Marriage license? I recently got married. Nursing license, social security card, and drivers license. This is a big head ache. Thanks for your help.

I am planning to take the NCLEX in Florida and then apply for endorsement to Georgia. I was wondering what the requirements were for endorsement. It has been 10 years since I graduated and I don't know what I will need to do. Did you all have to do any remedial program or clinical hours in the state you are/were licensed. Where there any other requirements other than p***ing the NCLEX and  fullfilling the necessary requirements on the application. Last question: Do you have to work in any required area/hospital for any time before you can apply for your desired position? 

Thank you!

Hey! So you’ve never taken boards before?. Not sure if there’s a timeline for taking boards. That’s what I would find out first. Once you p*** endorsement is easy. You just have to prove to GA that you’re licensed and sent them the required documents. Also, when you apply for your FL license just click on multi-state, I think GA is included. Your best bet would be to contact them directly just to get the correct information.
