LPN by endorsement in Arizona

Published

Good day! I'm a license nurse in San Diego and have work there for about 10 years. I wanted a change and move to Las Vegas Nevada with overnight mail and easy access to the board of Nevada I got my temporary license in 3 days. Finding a job is so difficult even with my lengthy experience . With a relative in Arizona I decided to move and see how it goes. I expedite all my papers and just got a result after 2 weeks with a note that I require a fingerprint. So I called the board after a 20 minutes of trying to connect with them. With all my paper works. I attach a payment for license, temporary license and fingerprint . So now my name is posted in the board with a note pending fingerprint. I ask the lady that since I paid for my fingerprint can I just have it done in any Arizona office. She said no. And I have to wait for it coming from them within a month that they receive my paper works . I just don't understand what took the process so long. Anybody who can shed a light in me.

I have been waiting a little over a month for my fingerprint results. Still says 'pending'. I am an RN and have applied for an endorsement from Indiana. I initially mailed my packet in February. It seems to be a long process to become licensed in AZ. Good luck!
