Transferring License to New York

U.S.A. New York

Published

I'm currently in nursing school in South Carolina. And my goal is to move to New York, Albany in particular, when I'm done with my degree. The problem that I'm having is what I'll have to do to transfer the license when I get there. I know that South Carolina is part of the Nursing License Compact that involves currently 23-24 states.... and New York isn't one of them. I read a little about people wanting to transfer their CA licenses to NY, but I don't know if that's any different.

In any case, namely I realize that you might need to take extra classes or something and would really like to get those done before I move if I have the chance.

Also, I've been told that if you work for the VA that your license will just transfer. But I'm not sure if that's true. I'd like to know if anyone has any information about that, too.

Thanks so much in advance!

I can't remember receiving anything from them except the go ahead to register with pearsonvue to get my ATT

No there is no notification nor correspondence activity from NYSED to applicants which cgfns does have. I cant even get a chance to talk to them through phone call. Their line has always been busy :/ Postal mail is their only mode of communication if they need further documents from you.

I am transferring from MI to NY too and want to know how long it took you and if this is what you filled out?

and did you have to pay $30 for the Nursys license verification to be sent to NY?

This would help me a lot ASAP.

Thanks,

Mufaro, it was almost 3 years ago, but from what I remember -

It took about 6 weeks, I think.

That's the current version of the form I filled out.

I didn't use Nursys for license verification; I went through the Michigan BON. I think Michigan wasn't participating in Nursys then.
