Hello everyone,

I do really need your help. I am confused. Oregon BON doesnt even have customer service. Email takes forever and the specialist is like go over the requirement. I read it so many times, still confusing. I studied my diploma in nursing internationally from Asia, came to USA, passed RN NCLEX exam, currently have VA RN license. I am planning to move to Washington state soon, I got a job offer from Oregon state. Was applying for RN endorsement to Oregon state, since I will be living in WA state,

1)could I apply in Oregon state Board of nursing for endorsement -(RN endorsement international educated nurse?

2)How about the address can I put WA address residential address in the Oregon BON process or will they reject my endorsement process? I am planning to work only in Oregon state.

3) I received the fingerprint scheduling email today for OR state, does any one know that if I have WA ID card or Driving license of WA state ? will the endorsement process be rejected or fingerprint be rejected?

4)last question, I need to apply for CES process for RN Endorsement via CGFNS, there are two process for CES one is CES academic and other is CES professional, which process should I apply for? Thank you

Hi Smarika,

Just wondering how you got on with your endorsement from VA to OR. Just so I understand correctly, did you still have to ask CGFNS for a CES report to get your license in Oregon even though you already passed the NCLEX and got your RN license in VA? 

Hope it all went well for you ?
