1. Understanding Endorsement License for CNAs in Guam
Before diving into the endorsement license process, let's briefly discuss what endorsement means. Endorsement allows CNAs who hold a valid certification in another U.S. state or territory to transfer their certification to Guam without retaking the entire certification exam. This streamlined process saves time and effort for qualified CNAs.
2. Verify Eligibility and Requirements
The first step towards endorsement is verifying your eligibility and understanding the requirements set by the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners (GBNE). Visit the GBNE website ([GBNE Website](https://gbne.hifa.guam.gov/board), to access their official licensing page and gather essential information. Ensure you meet the following eligibility criteria:

5. Application Review and Approval
After submitting your application, GBNE will review all the provided documents and verify your eligibility. The review process may take several weeks. Stay patient and ensure all the information you provided is accurate and complete. Check your email regularly for any correspondence from GBNE.
