NOTICE
Effective July 1, 2019, Kansas is a compact state. As result of this new licensure option for our Kansas licensees, we are receiving a higher than normal volume of applications and phone calls. Our processing time is 6-8 weeks upon receipt of all required information. (This includes the required fingerprint and background check submissions.) Any previous or NEW legal or disciplinary action that is reported on an application will need to be reviewed by the legal department and WILL EXTEND processing time. After submitting your application, in order to prevent accidental duplication, please allow 7-10 business days to pass before logging in to check the status. Checking your application status can be done by logging into your portal page and clicking “View Checklist” above your pending application.
To assist our staff to process your applications as efficiently as possible, please check out our frequently asked questions and NLC information on our website if you have questions regarding compact licensure. Frequently the answer to your questions will be available on our website. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this transitional period.
The mission of the Board of Nursing is to assure the citizens of Kansas safe and competent practice by nurses and mental health technicians.
