I know its been awhile since you posted this, but I had an interview Jan 14, and was offered a position to start orientation on Feb 5, pending clearing of background checks etc....Im a new nurse so Im taking the position primarily for the experience. I know nothing about the overall hospital except that the patients are very sick and the nurse to patient ratios for their ICU unit its 4:1 Tele unit 5:1 & med surg 6:1....The building is the old St John Conner Creek by the city airport. The units seem to be updated, but the census appears to be very low right now...Im nervous about starting, but Im nervous with any new job I start...Did you decide to take the position?

No miteacher you can get fingerprinted in the state you're located but you have to mail in fingerprint cards... LARA - Health Professions website Download Application for Endorsement and it will explain how you can submit fingerprints if you live out of state

Thanks for the Advice SweettartRN, I faxed a letter to the Senator and emailed 2 State Representatives so I hope something comes through real soon....I will keep you posted

They finally looked at my application, and I notice that they want me to send in transcripts etc. I call to find out why I need to do that when the State of Illinois FED EX'ED the certification to them on November 9th and they told me I filled out the wrong application, I filled out the application for RN examination & not RN Endorsement. THATS A BUNCH OF_________!!!!!!!!!! I printed the application off the Michigan website it has a link that says RN/LPN Endorsement application. Im totally clueless how I could possibly done that, when on the application I stated the school I graduated from & that I had taken the NCLEX and have a license in the State of Illinois.....I feel like they are playing games....They have my license certification from the state of Illinois in their office and its been there for over a week now.....This process is RIDICULOUS.....

WOW! I guess I have to do what I have to do....Thanks!

Kimmymik What do you mean which state is better as far as processing license by endorsement?

I just called MBON and the told me I have another 3- 3-1/2 weeks before they process my application....I clearly do not understand the issue. This is holding me up from employment....Im so depressed right now...smh

I think I will be waiting the whole 8 weeks before I get my MI license, They received all of my information on Oct 19 and as of today they still have not reviewed my application. This is so disheartening!!!!!!!!

Checked the website again today and they still haven't reviewed my application....Now I want to cry:arghh:

I dont have 8 weeks to wait thats just ridiculous, how did you go about getting in contact with the house or senate? Who is the contact person(s) because I will do just that to get the process going. They are holding me back from working I wish I could hold back all my bills

How long does it take for Michigan to give license by endorsement? I applied over 3 weeks ago and they still have not looked at my application. Im wondering are they behind in reviewing applications, because this process is holding me up from potential jobs. I check online everyday and it states that my application has not been reviewed which is very frustrating?

I attended Methodist College of Nursing in Peoria Illinois....Im originally from Michigan, moved to Peoria just to attend nursing school and moved back to Michigan.

Yes I next day mailed the 20.00 to Illinois........Yes I have been applying all over....Oakwood, Karmanos, DMC, Beaumont, Henry ford you name it.....Congratulations Im happy for you, I know you're excited....I may have to apply to LTC facilities since I have no nurse experience, but I will continue to apply and pray something comes along soon.

Thats not bad at all, so all together it took about 3 weeks for you...Michigan received all my paperwork on Oct 19 and I was posted online as pending on Oct 25. I have been checking my status online and they still have not looked at my application. Im getting impatient again because I really really need a job. Thanks for the insight I will continue to keep you posted!

Thanks Futurenurse108.....How long did it take for Michigan to issue your license or for you to see your license number online?
