Please, help me to find the answer.

I have active license from California and Nebraska and trying to endorse to Illinois. I am educated out of USA. I have credential evaluation from CGFNS. I wonder if I need to take TOEFL exam for endorse the license. I contacted the Illinois nursing board and the lady could not answer my question. I was told to send the application form and if I need any additional exam they would let me know.

Time is important to me because I have a job offer in Chicago and do not want to lose it.

Also, I would like to know if I have to verify 3 licenses for Illinois. One from my country and the 2 others from California and Nebraska. Which one they would call the original license.

Regarding the finger print.Is it possible to make an appointment and go to Chicago to do it. I heard, it takes time for out of state resident.

Many thanks in advance to be my angle and make the road more easier to pass.

Best,

The fingerprint question might be answered on the Board of Nursing website . Some states accept fingerprints done at police depts in other states on official fingerprint cards.

Also read the application carefully about what they are looking for

And only provide that. Usually verifictions that you went to school

And you were licensed in other states. Maybe post your question

In the international nurse section.
