How to get Washington State RN Licence?

Nurses Career Support

Published

I am a RN currently employed in British Columbia and wish to obtain a Washington State Licence.

In 1985 I passed the NCLEX Exam to obtain a Texas Licence and worked there for a couple of years.

I obtained my Canadian Licence through endorsement.

I plan to work in Washington State in the near future and need info on obtaining the Licence.

Thanks

I have JUST the address for you:

licensure is obtained through the WA State Dept. of Health. You MAY need to take an HIV/AIDS class to do this, so be sure to check into that. You might want to call there first, before writing for your license. I have worked with several BC nurses here and they articulate seamlessly and WELL!

So, check that site for the procedure you need to follow to gain licensure in Washington State! :) Good luck!
