Thank you @Memphis_RN ! I have started the paperwork today, and will call BON on Monday morning. I guess I am just nervous of them telling me I won’t be able to work for any amount of time. Crossing my fingers this doesn’t happen. I’ve moved multiple times in the past 8 years and have always been careful with my license. A new baby, school, etc threw me off my kilter this year. I appreciate all of the input!

Thank you for all the input! Yes I’ve googled. I guess I was wondering more if / what the consequence is of me not endorsing to a TX license without the time limit. Guess I’m just a little nervous to see what will happen! Like I said, I can’t afford to be out of work.

Hey all! First off, I’m fully aware that keeping my license in good standing is 100% my responsibility. But I got myself into a little predicament and needing some advice lol. Currently I have an multistate AZ RN license in good standing. I moved to TX middle of last year, and did not apply for a Texas license. I do have a Texas drivers license and am renting here for the last six months. I was told by my new employer in TX that I did not have to apply for TX license since I have a multistate license. I was hired recently at a new job in TX and had no problem being hired with my AZ compact state license. I am now seeing that I should have applied for a Texas license within the first 30 days of employment in the state!! I will be moving in a 10 weeks.. either staying in TX or to FL (another compact state). I would love some advice on how to best deal with this situation. Will I get in trouble now if I apply for Texas license? What are the consequences? As a single mom of three little ones I cannot afford to not be working. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
