Endorsement License Procedures for Registered Nurse in Virginia

The first step towards obtaining an endorsement license as a Registered Nurse in Virginia is to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. To qualify, you must possess an active and unencumbered RN license from another state or U.S. jurisdiction. Please visit the Virginia Board of Nursing's website for detailed information on eligibility requirements and any additional documentation that may be required.

Once you have confirmed your eligibility, it's time to submit your endorsement license application. You can find the application form on the Virginia Board of Nursing's website. Complete the form accurately, providing all necessary personal information, including your current RN license details, education history, and employment experience.

As part of the endorsement process, the Virginia Board of Nursing requires verification of your current RN license. You will need to request your licensing agency to submit verification directly to the Virginia Board of Nursing. The specific process and forms for verification can be found on the Board's website.

Virginia law mandates a criminal background check for all RN endorsement applicants. You will need to undergo a fingerprint-based criminal background check through the Virginia State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Detailed instructions and required forms can be found on the Virginia Board of Nursing's website.

Before granting an endorsement license, the Virginia Board of Nursing requires successful completion of the Jurisprudence Exam. This exam assesses your knowledge of the laws and regulations governing nursing practice in Virginia. You can access study materials and the exam through the Virginia Department of Health Professions' website.

Once you have completed all the necessary steps, submit your application, including all required documents, to the Virginia Board of Nursing for review. The board will thoroughly evaluate your application and supporting materials. The processing time may vary, but you can track the status of your application through the Virginia Board of Nursing's online portal.
