36-9-32. Licensing of registered nurse from another state. Upon application and payment of the required fee, the Board of Nursing may issue a license to practice as a registered nurse by endorsement to an applicant who has been licensed as a registered nurse under the laws of another state, territory, or foreign country, if, in the opinion of the board, the applicant meets the qualifications required of registered nurses in this state at the time of original licensure. However, if any applicant for licensure by endorsement has not been employed as a nurse for more than six years, the board may establish reentry standards, by rules promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26, and may require such written evidence, verified by oath, as may be deemed necessary to determine compliance with such standards.
