Suzane Re: Vermont Board of Nursing

I am thinking of applying to NM or Vermont for NCLEX and just apply for reciprocity after passing. Is this a sound decision?

I have just finished nursing and most of my friends are applying in California

it is better not to use california... vermont and new mexico more advisable... i did vermont first and endorse my license to california

There is no such thing as reciprocity You have to follow instructions for endorsement but bare in mind as a foriegn trained nurse you may have to get CES if not already done or if endorcing to NY CVS. It all depends on where you want to work, with retrogression going on at the moment depending on which state you want to work it may just be worth applying to that state. Where do you want to work?

I want to work in New York, NJ, or Philadelphia or maybe Texas.

if you want to work NY then you have to CVS (even to endorse) so better to do it for initial application. I think the rest need CES. Probably better to apply to state you want to work and just follow their requirements for foriegn trained nurse

HI, I've been working here in England for the last 7 years now. Do I still need to renew my Philippine license to apply in Vermont Board of Nursing?

Thanks.
