Puerto Rico Nurse Licensure Questions

Published

Specializes in SRNA.

Hello,

I am currently a nurse in the states trying to obtain licensure in PR. I have all the documents that are required except one very important document that PR is requiring from the NCSBN or Pearsonvue who administered the NCLEX. It is the document that says the date I tested, the time, location and whether or not I passed, and they require my photograph to be on the document from the exam day. I contacted Pearsonvue and NCSBN, who both told me that I have to contact the board of nursing where I obtained my license. I contacted the board of nursing and they provided me with a licence verification form which stated on it that I passed NCLEX on specified date, that I graduated from school of nursing etc. PR says it has to be from NCSBN or Pearsonvue... Does anyone know what I am talking about and how I obtain this document that apparently nobody can provide me?

I appreciate your help!

Ps. Please do not question why I am trying to get licensed in PR or complain about the territory and work conditions/pay. It's not what I am in need of. Much love.

I am following your post, as I am having the same issue. I really need to obtain the Puerto Rico licensure. Illinois has not provided me what i need to complete the application appropriately and Puerto Rico hasn't answered me clearly. I've been working on this for about 1 year now.
