How to Apply for a North Dakota Nursing License?

Follow These Simple Steps

Nurses who do not have an NLC multistate license but hold an active nursing license in another state or U.S. territory can apply for a North Dakota Board of Nursing license by endorsement. First-time licensees would apply for licensure by examination.

 

What you’ll need for North Dakota nurse licensure by endorsement:

  • A U.S. Social Security number and official transcripts from an approved nursing program that includes clinical experience sent directly to the North Dakota Board of Nursing (NDBON)
  • Verification of initial nurse licensure by examination, any other current nurse licenses and verification of recent practice or education within the past four (4) years
  • 400 hours of licensed nursing practice, or, you must have completed your nursing program, or, you must have completed a board-approved refresher course
  • Completed online application for nurse licensure by endorsement, accompanied by a $160 initial licensing/processing fee
  • Fingerprinting, forms, and fees paid for a criminal background check

Once all documentation is received and approved, the NDBON is quick to issue nurse licenses—often within a week.

Is North Dakota a Compact Nursing State?

Yes it is

North Dakota is a compact state in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). Therefore, if you hold a multistate RN license, issued by your primary state of residency, you are well on your way to working in the Peace Garden State—because you can take travel nursing jobs in North Dakota without the need for additional licensing.

 

Renewing Your License is Easy!

Registered nurses can renew their North Dakota nursing licenses on a biennial basis through the Board of Nursing’s website, by updating their information and paying the $120 fee ($110 for LPNs).
