We understand that obtaining a state license can be a daunting task, so we have outlined step-by-step instructions and provided valuable resources to simplify the process.

Step 1: Determine Eligibility

Before initiating the application process, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN). Visit their website at [OSBN's official website](https://www.oregon.gov/OSBN/Pages/index.aspx) to review the specific qualifications necessary for endorsement licensing.

Step 2: Complete the Application

Once eligibility is confirmed, you can proceed with filling out the application form. To access the application, visit the OSBN's website and navigate to the 'Forms' section. Download the appropriate Endorsement Application form and carefully complete all the required fields.

Step 3: Submit Required Documents

Alongside the completed application form, you will need to submit several documents to support your endorsement license request. The precise documentation may vary, so it is essential to refer to the OSBN's checklist, which can be found on their website. Make sure to compile all necessary paperwork to expedite the process.

Step 4: Provide Verification of Current License

To proceed with the endorsement process, you must provide verification of your current Cath Lab Tech license from your original state of licensure. Contact the licensing board from your home state and request a Verification of License to be sent directly to the OSBN.

Step 5: Complete Background Checks

Oregon law requires all healthcare professionals to undergo background checks. As part of the endorsement process, you will need to complete fingerprinting and a criminal background check. Detailed instructions and necessary forms can be found on the Oregon State Police website at [Oregon State Police Criminal Background Check Unit](https://www.oregon.gov/OSP/ID/pages/fingerprintingprocess.aspx).

Step 6: Pay the Required Fees

As part of the endorsement license application, certain fees will need to be paid. The specific fees and accepted payment methods can be found on the OSBN's website. Please note that payment is typically made online through a secure portal or via certified check or money order. Avoid providing any financial information to unauthorized sources.

Step 7: Await Application Processing

After submitting your application, documents, verification of license, completing background checks, and paying the necessary fees, all that's left is to wait. The OSBN will review your application and notify you of any additional information or documents required. Processing times may vary, so please exercise patience during this stage.
