Because Minnesota is not a compact state that accepts multi-state compact licensing, if you do not currently hold a Minnesota license you will need to the following:

1. Submit licensure by endorsement application form and fees
2. Submit fingerprint cards and a criminal background check fee
3. Submit the verification of licensure form
4. Submit the confirmation of Nursing Employment for Licensure by Endorsement form.

Good news.

Before you are licensed to work in Minnesota you may practice nursing under a temporary permit. This permit is valid until board action on your application or for 60 days, whichever comes first.
