Yes. You have two options for licensure. License by exam or license by endorsement. Idaho is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). This means that if you have a license from an NLC state, you do not need to apply for an Idaho specific license.

These are some common steps to take to obtain licensure across States:

• Graduation from a state-approved licensure program
• Pass the NCLEX examination
• Self-report all criminal convictions
• Verification of original state licensure
• Original transcripts sent directly from your college or university to the Board of Nursing (BON)
• Current Continued Education Units (CEUs)
• English language proficiency
• Sound mental and physical health and good moral character

If you already have a nursing license, you can receive licensure by endorsement, by doing the following:

1. Complete the application online
2. Provide proof of U.S. citizenship or residency
3. Graduate of a nursing program that meets the same criteria as Idaho nursing programs (official transcripts are required) from an NLC state
4. Earned 24 contact hours of continuing ed. within the past 24 months

Don’t let these requirements get you down. 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.
