Haw. Code R. § 16-89-22

Current through November, 2024

Section 16-89-22 - Eligibility

Temporary permits shall be granted to nurses who have been licensed by another state board of nursing, have passed a professional licensing examination recognized by the board, and have filed:

(1) An application prescribed by the board and accompanied by the required fee;

(2) Satisfactory evidence of a current license in another state, provided that the applicant submits proof that the applicant has requested from the originating state board a verification of licensure;

(3) Verification of employment by a Hawaii employer when the temporary permit is granted; and

(4) A self-query report from the NPDB. The board may require additional background checks of nurse applicants from an independent background check service as approved by the board, provided that the applicant shall pay the cost of the background check.

The temporary permit shall be valid for only that employer and shall be in effect until the verification of licensure is received from the originating state board, provided it is received within three months. The board may grant an extension if verification receipt is delayed for good reasons beyond applicant's control.
