The LPN/LVN tells a peer, "I want to be endorsed in state X. What step do you think I should take first?" The best response would be
a. "Ask our state board to send you a copy of your NCLEX-PN examination score."
b. "Photocopy your license and current registration."
c. "Write to the board of nursing in state X and ask for instructions."
d. "Request our state board to inactivate your license."
ANS: C
Endorsement to practice in another state begins by contacting the state board of nursing in that state and asking for instructions about how to proceed. The board will send an application, instructions, fee schedules, and other materials. Asking the state board to send a copy of your NCLEX-PN examination score and photocopying your license and current registration are neither necessary nor priorities. Requesting the state board to inactivate your license is premature. Current licensure and registration are necessary to continue to work in your state while awaiting endorsement for state X.
