Yes. But, if you already hold a nursing license in another state, you can apply for Alabama licensure by endorsement. First-time licensees require licensure by examination.

To receive licensure by endorsement, the following is required:

3. Graduate of a nursing program that meets the same criteria as Alabama nursing programs (official transcripts are required)
4. Earned 24 contact hours of continuing ed. Within the past 24 months
5. RN licensure verification

Don’t let these requirements overwhelm you. Our team at Trusted Nurse Staffing has helped hundreds of nurses obtain licenses in every state across the country, and we can help you too.

As of January 1, 2020 legislation was passed that allows nurses who have an NLC multistate license for nursing to practice in Alabama with no need for additional licensing.
