Steps for getting licensed in Ohio

Published

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get licensed in Ohio. I live in Ohio, but have my RN license in Indiana. I live only 2 miles from the Indiana state line and I work in Indiana. I want to apply for a job at our local hospital which is in Ohio. Can someone help me?? I tried calling the Ohio BON and was told to call back later. Thanks for any help you can give me.

The forms you need are about half way down. It will take at least 4-6 weeks once they recieve your application for you to recieve your licence.

Are you already an RN?

If you are transfering your licence from another state it takes about 4-6 weeks
