Before beginning the endorsement license application, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Colorado State Board of Nursing (CSBN).

Once you have confirmed your eligibility, the next step is to complete the application for RN endorsement licensure. The application can be accessed through the Colorado Online Licensing portal.

It is important to carefully fill out all the required information and submit any necessary supporting documentation.

As part of the endorsement process, the CSBN requires verification of your original nursing license. You will need to contact the licensing board in the state where your original license was issued and request a verification form to be completed. Each state has its own process for verification, so make sure to check the respective board's website for instructions.

The CSBN also requires verification of your nursing education credentials. You will need to request official transcripts from the nursing program(s) you attended to be sent directly to the CSBN. Be sure to follow the specific instructions provided on the CSBN website regarding transcript submission.

As part of the endorsement process, a criminal background check is mandatory. The CSBN website provides information on approved background check vendors. We recommend using reputable vendors such as [vendor 1], [vendor 2], or [vendor 3], and their details can be found on the CSBN website.

Once you have completed all the necessary steps, submit your application, along with the required fees, to the CSBN. They will review your application, transcripts, verification forms, and background check results. The review process may take several weeks, so it is essential to submit your application well in advance of your desired start date.

Upon successful review of your application, the CSBN will issue your endorsement license. You will be notified via email or regular mail, depending on your communication preference. The endorsement license will grant you the authorization to practice as a Registered Nurse in the state of Colorado.
