Endorsement License Procedures for Licensed Professional Nurse in Guam

Before we dive into the details, let's understand the purpose and benefits of obtaining a Guam nursing license by endorsement. Endorsement allows licensed professionals to practice in Guam without having to complete the entire licensing process from scratch. If you already hold a valid nursing license in another U.S. state or territory, endorsement offers a streamlined path to get licensed in Guam.

To begin the endorsement process, ensure you have the following documents ready:

1. Completed application form: Visit [Guam Board of Nurse Examiners](https://www.guamboardofnurse.org/) to download and complete the application form.
2. Verification of original license: Contact the licensing board of the state or territory where your license is currently active and request a verification sent directly to the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners (address provided in the application form).
3. Verification of education: Arrange for your nursing school to send an official transcript directly to the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners.

Once you have gathered the required documents, it's time to submit your application:

1. Compile all documents in one package, ensuring they are properly notarized, signed, and sealed.
2. Send the completed application form and supporting documents along with the required fees to the address mentioned on the application form. Payment can usually be made via check or money order as stated in the application instructions. Visit the [Licensing Fees](https://www.guamboardofnurse.org/licensure/licensectrine/index.php/) page on the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners website for the latest fee information.

After submitting your application, the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners will review your documents and verify the authenticity of your license and education. This process may take several weeks or longer. Be sure to monitor the status of your application by visiting the [License Verification](https://www.guamboardofnurse.org/endorsement/licenseverify/index.php) page on their website.

Depending on your specific situation, you may be required to fulfill additional requirements before obtaining your Guam nursing license. These requirements may include:

1. Criminal background check: Some states require applicants to undergo a criminal background check. Visit the [Instructions](https://www.guamboardofnurse.org/endorsement/endinstructions/index.php) page for details on how to complete this process in Guam.
2. Continuing education: Explore the [Continuing Competency](https://www.guamboardofnurse.org/continuing-competency/instructions-nurses/index.php) page on the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners website to understand the continuing education requirements.
3. Additional supporting documents: In certain cases, the Board may request further documentation or clarification. Stay in contact with the Board and provide any requested additional information promptly.
