Step 1: Meet the Requirements

To start the endorsement license process in New Mexico, it's crucial to ensure that you meet the state's requirements. You must hold a current anesthesia tech license in another state and have completed an accredited anesthesia tech program. Additionally, you'll need to meet any additional requirements outlined by the New Mexico Board of Nursing (NMBON).

Step 2: Gather the Required Documents

Once you've confirmed your eligibility, gather the necessary documents for your endorsement application. These typically include:

1. Completed application form (available on the NMBON website)
2. Copy of your current anesthesia tech license
3. Proof of completion of an accredited anesthesia tech program
4. Verification of any additional certifications
5. Verification of employment history

Ensure that all documents are clear, legible, and properly notarized where required.

Step 3: Submit the Application

Submit your complete application and all supporting documents to the New Mexico Board of Nursing. You can either mail them or submit them online through the NMBON website's licensing portal. Pay attention to any application fees and include payment as specified in the application instructions. Once submitted, allow ample time for processing.

Step 4: Background Check

As part of the endorsement process, the NMBON requires a background check. You will need to undergo fingerprinting and submit the necessary paperwork. The board will review your background check results, and any prior disciplinary actions or criminal convictions may impact the status of your application.

Step 5: Await Approval and License Issuance

After review and verification of your application, the NMBON will notify you of their decision. If approved, you will receive your endorsement license to practice as an Anesthesia Tech in New Mexico. The duration of this process can vary, so we recommend regularly checking the status of your application through the NMBON website or contacting their licensing department directly.
