Guide to Endorsement License Procedures for Certified Nursing Aide 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.

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:

To begin the application process, make sure you have the necessary documents ready. The documents required by GBNE may include:

Once you have gathered all the required documents, it's time to submit your application to GBNE. Visit their online portal ([GBNE Online Portal](https://gbne.hifa.guam.gov/board/online-portal)) to access the application submission system. Follow the provided instructions to complete the submission process.

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.

Upon approval of your endorsement, you will need to pay the necessary fees to obtain your Guam CNA license. GBNE's website will have detailed information about the fees and accepted payment methods.

Once you have successfully completed the application review and submitted the required fees, GBNE will issue your Guam CNA endorsement license. Congratulations! You are now ready to pursue exciting nursing opportunities in Guam.
