    I started my application for an Advanced Practice Nursing License on 05/24/2023. Since then it has been a nightmare. It took the PA Nursing Board 6 months to just approve the first half (the registered nurse license). They just started then the second half in September. I have had to re-pay and re-send documents that they claim they never received (I have receipts documenting they were sent). Now, almost a year later they still have not approved my license because they "cant find my documents". I have had to resend 4 of my verification documents 3 times. I have called the PA board of nursing countless times. There is a 2 hour wait. When I did reach someone, she said, "no I don't have time to go look for that". The woman on the phone (heaving indian accent) didnt know anything. She asked me my name about 5 times. Then asked me my school name about 5 times- repeated it and got it wrong. I asked to speak to her superior and she hung up on me. At this point, I am out $820 and will lose the job I wanted. My boss has run out of patience, as have I. Lastly- I want to note that I applied for (and obtained) 6 other state advanced nursing licenses for my Telehealth Nurse Practitioner job throughout that time. I am completely capable and qualified to obtain licenses in a timely manner. It is a Pennsylvania Board of Nursing issue. I will be losing income and have lost a lot of time and money due to their incompetence. Its actually scary that these people are in charge of medical licenses.

Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.

Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?
