Endorsing RN license to NY?

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hi! Just wondering if anyone know how one can endorse/transfer RN license to NY? I looked on the NY BON website but I don't seem to find a answer. I'm a RN from Massachusetts, worked for over an year there, applied to NYU's grad school recently and the admissions person brought up this question. I am an American citizen but foreign graduate, if this will make a difference. Thanks!

Specializes in NICU.

Good luck, the job market in NY is horrendous. We've had 3 hospitals close in the past 3 years with the most recent being 2 weeks ago. Most of the hospitals are on hiring freezes to accommodate nurses from that hospital. Everyone is having a horrendous time looking for jobs, if I were you unless it were an absolute necessity, I'd wait until the job market gets better before even lifting a finger to move here.

jersey's pretty bad too.. especially if youre a new grad with no experience...

my ny license took a little over two months to process.. with a couple bumps in the road...

first nj had sent my form back to me because they required a fee to release the information.. so call your state of licensure ahead of time to see if they want money.. second, it was a little over two months with no word yet... so i had contacted nj bon and my school to ask when they had sent in my forms.. turned out that they had sent them two months ago... so i called back the ny licensure dept to check on the status.. they said they had not rec'd the forms... i told them that i had contacted the proper instututions and that they had sent the forms months ago.. so i made them dig through their piles of mail to find my forms... i was licensed that day...

dont be afraid to follow up with persistence... i had to do the same with the nj BON as well... slackers....

CVS takes approx 6 months but you can submit application to NY when ready however it will not be looked at until CVS is sent to them

I am in the same situation as you. since you got education in another country, I think you need to go through CVS, and it takes a long time.

I am in exactly the same situation... I worked as RN in TX for a year--but we had to move to NY. I heard horror stories that reevaluation of education and endorsement for foreign graduates takes forever--(up to 8 month) And everything need to be done through CGFNS ... again.... It is NOT FUN....:cool:
