HEllo,
can you advise please how to change license from NM to NJ?
is it should be done by an endorsement?

Go to BON website and look for requirements of endorsement, pay any fees and wait. Some take a while

Now hang on a minute, if we tell you how, you might LEAVE New Mexico! nonononono:no:
Sigh.
I'd pull up the NJ BON and look at their site directly. I don't think we have reciprocity with NJ; at least it wan't on the list when my license came up for renewal and they wanted to know if I wanted it with other states.
Why on earth do you want to leave the Land of Enchantment? Just 'cause we're either in drought, wildfires, political unrest, border troubles, ,,,, maybe I'll go with you:jester:
Good luck with your move.

That ought to get you started.
Please examine the packet closely. And please apply well ahead of time - NJ BON is notoriously slow!
Good luck!
THANKS!
Sure come with me! (sounds good to me). Just before I finally settle down I would like to try different places. I already came to stay with my friend in NY, and we have place to share.))
I assumed that I can do it relatively fast, but now I afraid I stuck. Travel is already pricey for me now.
I already was on both web sites of NM and NJ BON.
Now I have another question:
Is it possible to get a Temporary license in another state while having NM license and while doing endorsement thing?
As I know NM is a compact state license. Is that mean if I go to another Compact state (TX for example is a compact state too), CAN I start to work without doing wasting time/money for Endorsement process?
I am in trouble(!what a moron), if I have to go all the way down to south; I am already tight in money- if I gotta wait 2 months or more for endorsement. Unless I got to bike to South (I got a bike), if bicycling I can show up at best only by November)))
Any smart suggestion will be highly appreciated. Please...

States do not have reciprocity for the license, only the NCLEX exam has it.
Your training is going to be need to be accepted by the new state before they will issue a license and that is done by endorsement. Just follow those procedures, but you do not transfer a license and will continue to hold the one in NM until it expires if you do not renew it.
