If you are a recent graduate, and have yet to take the NCLEX-RN, Pro-Life Nurse Missions is a strategic learning opportunity for you! Direct supervision by a licensed RN can be arranged, per NYSED’s limited permit criteria for new graduates. 

For nurses licensed in other states, Pro-Life Nurse Missions is available to you! 

Unfortunately, New York State is not part of the NLC (Nurse Licensure Compact); however, the process for obtaining licensure in New York is fairly simple.

Here is the process:

1) Submit Online Form 1: Application for Licensure – RN

Start by completing the NYSED Registerd Nurse Application. You must pay the $143 license and first registration fee by credit card.

2) Complete New York State’s Required Coursework

You must complete a NYSED Approved Infection Control Course and a Child Abuse Identification and Reporting Course from an approved provider or qualify for an exemption.

3) Have Your Nursing License Verified

If have been licensed as an RN in a state or U.S. territory that does not participate in Nursys®, complete Section 1 of Verification of Other Professional Licensure/Certification (Form 3) and send it to the licensing authority that granted you your nursing license and ask that they complete Section II. The licensing authority will verify your nursing license on Form 3 or a similar document and send it to the NYSED. 

A projected time frame for this process is 6-8 weeks.
