Maryland Licensure Information and Requirements

For the latest up-to-date information on licensure requirements and fees, visit the Maryland Board of Nursing website or contact the Maryland Board of Nursing licensing division at (410) 585-1900.

Licensure Requirements

Maryland was the first state to join the NLC, the nation’s Nurse Licensure Compact. 

What does this mean for travel nurses? It means if you have a valid nursing license from another state in the NLC, you don’t need to acquire a Maryland nursing license to legally work as a travel nurse in Maryland. 

If you don’t hold a license from a participating NCL state, you’ll be required to apply for a Maryland licensure by endorsement. To do this, you must take the following steps with the Maryland Board of Nursing: 

  1. Get fingerprinted. This may be done in one of two ways:
    1. Electronically: Print the last page of the CHRC Form​. Take it to one of the sites located on this page: http://www.dpscs.state.md.us/publicservs/fingerprint.shtml
    2. Hard cards (out of Maryland) Request a fingerprint packet from mdbon.nets@maryland.gov, please include: name and mailing address. Have your prints rolled/inked on the cards (please email your
      mailing address to this email for us to send them out). Mail the fingerprint card and associated fee to CJIS – Central Repository, P.O. Box 32708, Pikesville, MD 21282-2708, or overnight the fingerprint card to 6776 Reisterstown Road, Suite 102, Baltimore, MD 21215. Please include a check or money order made out to “CJIS Central
      Repository”. Fees are found on CJIS’s website http://www.dpscs.state.md.us/publicservs/bgchecks.shtml
  2. Provide verification of your nursing license. The Maryland Board of Nursing permits licensure verification through Nursys®. If your original state of licensure does not participate in Nursys®, you will need to contact the Board of Nursing in that state.
  3. Complete an online RN/LPN endorsement application
  4. Complete an approved implicit bias training course 

If you have held a Maryland RN or LPN license in the past that is currently listed as inactive, non-renewed, or invalid, you must request a renewal packet from: MBON.nurselicenserenewal@maryland.gov.  

If you have never held a Maryland license but hold an active license in another state, you must continue with the endorsement process. ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE.

Requests for verification forms require a $25.00 check or money order and may be sent to the Maryland Board of Nursing, ATTN: Endorsement Department, 4140 Patterson Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21215-2254.

The Maryland Board of Nursing issues a temporary nursing license to qualifying applicants. To find out if you would be eligible, click here.

Why Should You Consider Becoming a Travel Nurse in Maryland?

If you want to be within proximity to other big cities without having to live in one, Maryland may be just your style. Full of cultural diversity, amazing eats, and easy access to the great outdoors, Maryland is an exciting destination. 

Maryland is full of things to do, no matter where your interests lie. If you’re a nature lover, check out Assateague Island National Seashore, where you can roam the beaches with wild horses. Explore Swallow Falls State Park’s hemlocks and find the towering Muddy Creek Waterfall, a breathtaking 53-foot drop. 

Not into the outdoors, but still want to get a taste of Maryland’s best? Travel nurses in Maryland can drive across the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore (the second-longest continuous truss bridge in the nation), spend the day at the National Aquarium or one of the many museums, and much more. 

During the summer, enjoy brews and steamed blue crab at the Maryland Crab Festival in Baltimore, or take in the Annapolis Oyster Roast in the spring. Not a seafood fan? Head over to Duff Goldman’s Charm City Cakes Bakery for a sweet treat, and sign up for a baking class. And this is just a taste of the culinary scene in Maryland. As a travel nurse, you’ll never run out of ways to please your taste buds. 

Want to get away for a weekend? Check out Annapolis — home to the United States Naval Academy. Spend a long weekend exploring museums, cruising the Chesapeake Bay, and enjoying the small town with a big personality.
