The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for regulating Nuclear Medicine Technician licenses. For detailed information on the requirements, you can visit their official website: [Nebraska DHHS Licensing](https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/default.aspx). You will find information on educational qualifications, experience, and any additional documents necessary for endorsement.
Step 2: Application Process
Once you have reviewed the requirements and gathered all the necessary documents, it's time to begin the application process. Nebraska utilizes an online application system, which makes the process more convenient and efficient. To access the application portal, please visit the [Nebraska DHHS Licensing Portal](https://dhhs.ne.gov/licensure/Pages/default.aspx) and create an account if you haven't already. Follow the prompts to complete the application, ensuring that you provide accurate and up-to-date information.
