Help- APRN endorsement from CA to TX

Published

Hi,

Has anyone gone through the process of APRN endorsement from CA to TX ?

From the directions it says you have to hold a current TX RN license or privilege to practice in TX to meet the qualifications ( which yes I get this).  But can I apply for a TX RN and TX APRN license at the same time or do I have to get the TX RN first and then apply for the TX APRN. I cannot find this answer anywhere on the Texas Board of Nursing website.

Thank you for the help!!

Hi Stephanie,

Did you ever sort this out and get your TX APRN license?

I'm on month 7 waiting for TX BON to process/approve my APRN application and I've had to constantly follow-up as they keep stating they haven't received this or that, I then send the verification that they had received it and suddenly they do indeed have it (that's how I finally got my RN level approved in December 2021, despite applying and submitting ALL required paperwork/verifications for everything the beginning of September 2021.) I'm now trying to get them to follow through on my FNP, then whenever that gets done I can submit (separately, with another application fee) for my PMHNP. 

I've been shocked and disappointed by how slow and non-transparent & seemingly unorganized the process has been.

Hi Kimmba,

Yes, I did get both my RN and APRN endorsement from TX. It took a little over two months. I think I started in Sept 2021 like you, and then I got approved for the APRN license right before Thanksgiving at the end of November. I think I would have even gotten it sooner but my school incorrectly filled out the education form twice and then finally after the 3rd submission it was approved.  I'm not sure why its taking over 7 months for yours to get approved as we started at the same time !  Are you checking online on the website under your account to make sure nothing is missing. Thats how I knew I had to have my school correct a form?

What state are you coming from?
