About This Directory
This directory provides verified information about nursing license transfers (endorsement) between US states. All data is compiled from official State Board of Nursing sources and includes:
- ✓ Total costs (application fees, background checks, additional fees) with source citations
- ✓ Complete requirements lists from official BON websites
- ✓ Special state-specific requirements
- ✓ Temporary permit information with source links
- ✓ Direct links to official applications
- ✓ A source citation for every data point, linking directly to where it came from
What Makes This Different
This is an independent reference tool, not a travel nursing job board or staffing agency. That distinction matters for a few reasons:
- ✓ No job listings, no account, no marketplace — there's no incentive to make any state look easier or cheaper than it actually is in order to route you toward a job posting
- ✓ Searchable by any state pair, plus a full table view — compare requirements and costs across multiple states side by side, rather than scrolling one long article looking for your state
- ✓ Per-fact sourcing — every fee and requirement links to its own official source, so you can verify each individual claim rather than trusting one article as the source for everything
Note: Requirements and fees are subject to change. Always verify with the official Board of Nursing before applying.
