P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 203l
Every person authorized to practice nursing in the United States of America, the District of Columbia or a foreign country and is interested in practicing nursing in Puerto Rico shall take the revalidation examination offered by the Board. In order to obtain the license that authorizes him to practice nursing in Puerto Rico, he shall meet the requirements established by §§ 203—203r of this title. The Board may issue a license without an examination to those nurses who hold a license issued by the government of any state, possession or territory of the United States of America if, in the Board’s judgment, these candidates meet Puerto Rico’s requirements to practice nursing or those of the states or territories of the United States of America with which the Board has established reciprocity. Every female or male nurse covered by this section shall pay fifty dollars ($50) in a postal or bank money order, or certified check to the order of the Secretary of the Treasury. The fees thus collected shall be covered into the Health Fund for the exclusive use of the Board of Female and Male Nurse Examiners.
