I finished all my endorsement requirements. When do I get my permanent license?

Published

Hey everyone,

I'm a nurse from Illinois who relocated to Texas. I already have a temp nursing license for Texas. I finished all my endorsement requirements and the BON stated it would take ten days for everything to go through. That was a month ago. I'm still waiting on my permanent license. Has anyone had to wait this long?

Yes I next day mailed the 20.00 to Illinois........Yes I have been applying all over....Oakwood, Karmanos, DMC, Beaumont, Henry ford you name it.....Congratulations Im happy for you, I know you're excited....I may have to apply to LTC facilities since I have no nurse experience, but I will continue to apply and pray something comes along soon.

It will. I will send up prayers for you! May I ask what school in Illinois did you attend? Are you from Illinois or Michigan?

Hello! So I am a new grad nurse and I will be getting my license in IL but just like you I got a job in MI and am moving pretty soon so I will be applying for my MI with my IL endorsement. I have been reading numerous posts about the more efficient way to do this. Do you have any pieces of advice? Is it true that if you drive your certification verification paperwork to Springfield that they would process it faster? If I send in my MI endorsement paperwork before I even get my IL license will they process my MI license faster once they receive verification from IL? I'm very stressed about this whole situation so like I said, any piece of advice would be amazing!
