Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some health care professions are not the same in each state. That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.
Maine is a compact state. If you are moving to Maine or claiming it as your primary state of residence, you will need to apply for application by endorsement in order to use your license in Maine. General instructions are listed below.
Your initial Maine license will be valid for at least one year. Subsequent renewals take place every two years. You may renew online for $75.
Maine does not have continuing education requirements for RNs. However, foreign educated nurses must provide an original source transcript only upon request after the review of the application. Contact the Board for criminal background check information.
