Is it possible for LVN in CA to work in TX ?

Published

I am currently an licensed vocational nurse in CA. I am planning to move to TX. Wonder if i can do paper works with the board to transfer my license there. Anyone knows?

Start early. The TX licensing process is more involved than that in CA.

You apply for a nursing license by endorsement as long as you graduated from a VN school not used equivalency/method 3 Texas only licenses LVNs who graduated from nursing school

Texas Board of Nursing - Endorsement

California is NOT a compact state (but Texas is.)

Endorsement. I went from cali to Arizona. I paid fees and did a fingerprint scan again took a few months but I had issues and it took longer. And then you will only be licensed for Texas you won't become a compact license
