Hi I am graduating in May from an Illinois BSN program. I would like to take the test in Illinois because I have heard that it is nearly impossible and takes forever to get an IL license by endorsement. However, my fiance was just transfered to St Louis Missouri and I would like to go with him obviously. There are hospitals close enough in Illinois that I am applying to but I would also like to get my Missouri license to increase my options. How long does it take to get the MO license after getting a license in IL? What about a temporary MO license? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Applications that that require review by the Licensure committee will take up to four months before processing can occur.
