Slow for Endorsement

Published

Why is Texas nursing board so slow??It has been weeks now and every time I call I get the runaround. Trying to endorse from Minn to Texas. Last time I called after a month she said it had still not been looked at. What can I do ? I need to be working and they don't seem to care!!:no:

Did you apply online or by mail? I will be applying for license by endorsement to Texas in a few weeks and was wondering if you had any advice.

You can always check out the progress of your endorsement process on the TX-BON website. That also depends on your license verification from nursys as there are scheduled updates from participating states. When I applied through NURSYS, it took them a month and a half for them to verify and submit a report to TX-BON. I was off work for 2 and a half months basically. It takes time. You just have to wait.

Hi! I encourage you to visit TX-BON's website if you are eligible for online endorsement. :)

I applied online for the temp license a week ago (sent the $186 via the site). I am in IL and Nurys does not provide verification to Tx for me. Does anyone know if I have to wait for the temp license correspondence to get finger printed and submit my fees/paper work to IL? And is that just the one page paper in the Texas packet?

- of course I've read the instructions, there are just multiple packets and it is a bit confusing. The waiting game is the norm, I know.

Thanks!

Thanks![/quote'] If you requested for a fingerprinting ink card from TX-BON, I think you have to wait for it because the card contains a code that you have to verify on the Identogo website and then after registering the card, get your fingerprints taken in an authorized agency and that's the only time you can mail it to MorphoTrust. If the card is not registered on the Identogo website, your background check will not be processed.

Also for the verification of license paperwork for Illinois, you just have to download the VoL form and then send it directly to Illinois BON and request for a verification of license for Texas BON. Good luck!
