Hi, I'm a Canadian Registered Practical Nurse in Ontario. I'm looking to relocate to basically anywhere that doesn't have snow, lol. I see a lot of job's advertised in Texas and was trying to find information regarding licensing. Does anyone know if I have to get a CES from the Commission of Foreign Nursing Schools? And do I apply by exam or endorsement? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Laura

Welcome to the site, Lmnurse!

Regarding licensure here in the US, I would suggest checking out the TX State Board. The information is located here http://www.ultimatenurse.com/forum/f32/tx-state-board-nursing-info-20022/ in the Texas Nurses Forum. Hopefully, that will help you out.

I hope to see you here often!

Thank you. As for the Texas board of nursing site, I did poke around it and couldn't find anything regarding registration of foreign nurses. Did you find anything there?

Call Texas Board of Nursing and ask.
