You should be able to find whatever you need to know there, reciprocity and such... you may want to look at your maryland website as well, because they may charge a fee to verify your license..

hope that it helps.

NCLEX exam has reciprocity, nursing licenses do not. And NY is not a compact state. You will need to apply to NY via the "License by Endorsment" application.

You will need a NY license to practice there. If you graduated from a US school, then the wait is usually about six weeks; if from overseas, then there is a different process that needs to be followed.
