Welcome to Allnurses.com!
1. Visit the New York Board of Nursing website.
2. Look for the information on obtaining a license by endorsement.
3. Nursing licenses are not ever 'changed' from one state to another. Rather, you hold a license from the state board of nursing that originally granted your first license, then you utilize that license to obtain a NY nursing license via the endorsement process. Again, visit the NY BON website to find out what steps you need to take to obtain a NY license by endorsement.

Have you taken the NCLEX-RN? Did you review the requirements on the NY BoN website
