Question about LPN endorsement from NJ to NY

[miss salubrius]

Hello there,

I am a licensed NJ Practical Nurse, Been working since I got my license in Oct. I am not far from NY, and Have been looking for the application for endorsement. However, I had a question, hopefully someone can clarify. There is a section which the "licensing authority" must fill out, and "they" must send it in to the NY Office of Professions, (not the applicant). So what exactly is the licensing authority? Would it be NJ Dept of health , in my case? Since I am licensed in NJ? I am goign to call the number for NY Licensing questions, but I thought I might get a response on here over the weekend. And if anyone has any other comments about working NY that they woudl like to share, I'd be happy for the advice.

Thanks!

NY and NJ have always had reciprocity. Just fill out your part of the form and send it to the agency that issues NJ licenses. They will send an official report to NY and you will be licensed in NY. It's a very simple procedure.

I was licensed in both States before I retired.
