Processing time †
Could not confirm endorsement processing time or time to licensure from the available official evidence.
Compact considerations †
If you hold an active multistate RN license, keep your primary residence in its issuing compact state, and retain valid practice privileges. The available evidence did not confirm current NLC participation for Minnesota. Do not assume that a multistate license authorizes practice there; confirm with the board.
