The endorsement process generally involves several steps:
Application: Nurses must submit an application to the nursing board of the state or country where they wish to be endorsed. Verification of Licensure: The nursing board will usually require verification of the applicant's current license. This may involve contacting the original licensing board to confirm that the nurse's license is in good standing. Background Check: Most boards will conduct a criminal background check as part of the endorsement process. Continuing Education: Some jurisdictions require proof of continuing education or competency in the field. Fees: There are often fees associated with the endorsement process, which can vary by jurisdiction.
