((HUGS)) I'm so sorry.

unfortunately...Illinois is not a compact state neither is Ohio...you need to apply for endorsement.

Thank you everyone. I'm sure it will all be better when I'm back with friends and family. Shoulda just taken it in Ohio but was convinced she was the one

I am in the exact same boat! I moved to Michigan to be with me now ex boyfriend. All my family is in Ohio. Before moving I kept going back and forth wondering whether to stay in Ohio or move with the boyfriend of two years who I was convinced was the one. So I sent in an app and all fees for both Ohio and Michigan and at the last minute changed it to Michigan, obviously a mistake. Had just passed and gotten my license for Michigan when he broke up with me and now have to get endorsed for Ohio. I have been emailing and calling the OBN with no luck. Sent in my application a week ago, but the website still lists me an examination applicant waiting on the test scores. I want to get a hold of OBN to see if there's a way to have my test scores just sent over... but no one has been answering my calls or emails. I hope you have figured everything out by now and have a license in Ohio, because this waiting and unemployment is unbearable.

BrianneRN- did you ever get things figured out with switching your license to ohio?

BrianneRN · Jul 6, 2014

Unfortunately I have not. After about 3 weeks OBN did eventually call me to clear up why I had submitted two applications. After I clarified the situation, the person I talked to told me they would void the first and start on the second. Ugh, start? it has now been five weeks since I sent in my endorsement application and the only difference that has occurred when I go to verify my license is that it says application abandoned for the exam and pending for the endorsement, I have sent more emails and left more voicemails every week trying to hear back but no luck. 5 weeks seems like forever to be unemployed and living with your parents I hope OBN gets their stuff together soon.
