    CCL RN replied to HULIYO's topic in Washington Nursing

  13. changing my LPN license to a Washington State one

    CCL RN replied to HULIYO's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't think you have to send that to your current board if you verify your license in NURSYS. That's like a 35$ fee or so. Even though I did this only a few months ago I can't remember exactly what...
