What documents do you need to transfer a RN license from New York to Connecticut?

Published

I passed Nclex RN and I had received a NY state license. I want to transfer that to Connecticut. What documents would I need to be able to transfer and what would be the process? I have already made several attempts at the NCLEX RN in CT taking the CT boards.

Also, is it hard for a new RN to find a job in Connecticut? Thanks!

Go on the Conn. board of nursing website and see what they require. I transferred my license several times and I needed a passport type picture, FBI fingerprinting, obviously a check for whatever amount I had to pay, an application, and some kind of thing where I had to release my NCLEX results to the new state or something like that. Each state has it's own requirements but the NCLEX is a one-time deal--you won't need to take that again unless conn. has some weird rules I don't know about.

Try their website and call their office :nurse:

Just to clarify, there's no such thing as "transferring" a license from one state to another. You are applying for (new, separate) licensure in the new state -- however, you're applying for licensure by endorsement (based on the fact that you are already licensed in another state) vs. applying for licensure by examination (new grad who needs to take NCLEX). Look on the CT BON website for info about licensure by endorsement -- all the info and forms you need should be there.

Hi, thanks for your answer but I need to know do you need a school transcript when you transferred yours. I have already attempted the NCLEX RN in CT but unfortunately didnt pass :(. So, I was wondering if it would be a bit simplyer for me

Have you looked at the CT BON website? The BONs are usually pretty good about explaining exactly what documents are needed and what the process is.

The NCLEX is a national exam - it doesn't matter where in the US you failed it, you failed it and need to retake it with a passing score to apply successfully anywhere in the US.

Ask the Texas board of nursing, or better, look it up on their website.
