New Mexico Nursing Licensing
The New Mexico Board of Nursing is responsible for licensing Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in the state.
New Mexico is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). Under the NLC:
- Nurses who hold a multistate license issued by another NLC member state can practice in New Mexico without applying for additional licensure.
- If a nurse moves to New Mexico and declares it as their primary state of residence, they must apply for a New Mexico multistate license.
Licensure Application Requirements:
- ERES Nursing License Evaluation
- If nursing courses and textbooks were not taught in English, you must provide proof of English language proficiency by submitting results from one of the following exams:
- IELTS Academic- computer or paper-based
- TOEFL computer or paper-based
- Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)
Important Notice:
State Boards of Nursing may change their requirements at any time. We always strive to keep our information updated but consult the respective Board for confirmation is strongly recommended.
