Step 1: Verify Eligibility
Before you begin the endorsement license application process, it is important to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Nevada State Board of Nursing (NSBN). You must hold an active CNA license in good standing from your current state and have completed a state-approved CNA training program. Verify your eligibility by visiting the NSBN website: [NSBN Eligibility Verification](https://www.nvbon.org/)
Step 2: Complete Application
Once you have confirmed your eligibility, it is time to complete the endorsement license application. You can access the application through the NSBN’s online portal. Make sure to provide accurate and up-to-date information, including details about your current CNA license and employment history. The NSBN may also require you to submit supporting documents, such as a copy of your CNA certification. For further instructions, visit the NSBN's endorsement application page: [NSBN Endorsement License Application](https://www.nvbon.org/licensure-verification-endorsement)
Step 3: Fingerprints and Background Check
As part of the endorsement process, you will need to submit your fingerprints for a background check. The NSBN will provide instructions on how to schedule a fingerprinting appointment with approved vendors. Please note that additional fees may apply for this process. Detailed information about the fingerprinting and background check requirements can be found on the NSBN's website: [NSBN Fingerprinting and Background Check](https://www.nvbon.org/fingerprinting)
Step 4: Verification of Current License
The NSBN will contact the state where your current CNA license is issued to verify its validity. This process may take some time, so it is essential to ensure that your license information is accurate and up-to-date. Keep track of your application status by logging in to the NSBN's online portal. For any inquiries regarding the license verification process, you can contact the NSBN directly through their website: [NSBN Contact Information](https://www.nvbon.org/contact)
Step 5: License Issuance
Upon completion of the endorsement license application process and approval from the NSBN, you will be issued your Nevada CNA endorsement license. The license will allow you to practice as a CNA in the state of Nevada. Maintain a copy of your licensure documents for your records and future job opportunities. Congratulations on obtaining your Nevada CNA endorsement license!
