The state of Minnesota is very open when it comes to nurse aides from other states who wish to work there. If they want to apply for reciprocity, they may do so by completing the Interstate Endorsement Forms, which they can download at http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fpc/profinfo/narinfo/Interstate2.pdf. The PDF file already contains direction on what they should do. Once they filled it out, they may send it along with the other requirements to the Nurse Aide Registry.

To make applying easier, the state has made it so that the forms that are present at the URL given above can be sent back to the Registry. Before the applicant sends it, he/she should make sure it is complete in order to prevent any delay in its processing. The state does not have any processing charges.  If you have sent the files, you will then need to wait for the Registry to process your application. It normally takes them about 30 working days for its processing. If you feel that you have any questions, you can call the Registry at (651) 215-8705.
