Hello, first of all do you live outside the US?If you are licensed to other state and wish to be licensed in Texas just go to this site https://www.bon.texas.gov/applications_endorsement.asp

It includes steps for license endorsement. If you are in the US, you can apply for an online application, but if not then you need to print out the forms and mail it back to Texas Board of Nursing once completed. Hope this helps.

Which particular aspect of the endorsement are you confused of?

First of, if you live outside the USA, you need to download the endorsement application form, Verification form and Fast pass form on their site. You have to send the license endorsement application form with the check of $186 to Austin Texas.

Secondly, go to PRC (because I assume that you are from the Philippines) and give them the Verification form. The PRC will send directly the verification to Texas,just pay the necessary fee and of course provide accurate information and mailing address.

Regarding you license verification for Vermont, just visit nursys.com

Just visit nursys.com and click the state that you want to licensed, you need to have a credit card to finish this process,and the fee is around $30.(kindly check nursys for the exact fee).. However, you can also use Verification form in case you do not have a credit card and send it to Vermont with the corresponding payment.

Lasly, request for a finger print card for the Board of Nursing or US embassy,have it printed at NBI. Register to identogo which has a contact number located in the Fast pass form.After the registration, you can send the card with the fast pass form to Morpho trust USA

You can check your application status on their site as soon as they receive your application.Afterwards, you can take the online examination once you completed the requirements or once your temporary license has been issued.I hope you find this helpful. Goodluck!

It states that it is only required for LVN endorsement. Kindly check this site https://www.bon.texas.gov/licensure_endorsement.asp#paper

I also applied for endorsement last August, and just now waiting for the permanent license.
