Gather Your Endorsement Arsenal: What You'll Need
Here's what you'll need to have in your metaphorical backpack for this endorsement adventure:
- Your NMI License (in Pristine Condition): This one's a no-brainer. Make sure your NMI license is current and squeaky clean, without any disciplinary blemishes.
- Transcripts Time! Dust off your transcripts from nursing school and get official copies sent directly to the New York Board of Nursing (we'll get to them in a sec).
- Verification is Key: The New York Board of Nursing will want to verify your good standing with the NMI Board of Nursing. This usually involves a simple form you'll need to get filled out and stamped by the NMI folks.
- Fingerprinting Fun: Yep, you guessed it – fingerprints are part of the deal. New York will require a background check, so get ready to channel your inner CSI agent.
- Fees, Glorious Fees: There's no such thing as a free lunch (or endorsement), so be prepared to pay some processing fees. The exact amount can vary, so check with the New York Board of Nursing for the latest scoop.
Pro Tip: Don't wait until the last minute to gather your documents. The sooner you get everything together, the sooner you'll be rocking that New York nurse badge!
