Likely pathway †
Could not confirm an APRN “endorsement/transfer” pathway from Minnesota to New Hampshire from the available NH official APRN initial-licensure evidence. The packet appears to be for initial APRN licensure and requires RN/compact RN licensure, advanced nursing education, and national certification.
Pathway conditions to check
- RN license prerequisite for APRN licensure (NH RN or compact-state unencumbered RN)
Hold a current NH RN license or a current, unencumbered RN license in a compact state.
To determine which option applies: Whether the applicant currently holds an unencumbered NH RN license or an unencumbered compact-state RN license, and whether those licenses are current/unencumbered for this purpose.
Source 1 ↗ - National APRN certification and recency/added education documentation
Provide national certification; if “Licensed A.P.R.N. for two or more years prior,” also provide 30 educational hours including 5 pharmacology contact hours within two years prior to application.
To determine which option applies: Whether the applicant is newly graduated APRN or was licensed as an APRN for two or more years prior; and the specific certification and required recent educational-hour documentation.
Source 1 ↗ Source 2 ↗ Source 3 ↗ - Approved advanced nursing education program completion (hours and pharmacology)
Education program must include specified theoretical hours, clinical practice hours, and pharmacological interventions.
To determine which option applies: Transcript/program proof showing the required theoretical and clinical hours and pharmacological interventions; whether pharmacology is explicitly reflected on the transcript.
Source 1 ↗ Source 2 ↗ - Transcript/certificate option and pharmacology-integration documentation
Request final official transcript (or attach certificate before July 1, 2004); provide additional documentation if pharmacology is not reflected on the transcript.
To determine which option applies: Which education documentation type the applicant has (transcript vs. pre-7/1/2004 certificate) and whether pharmacology is reflected on transcript.

Government fees †
Could not confirm any New Hampshire APRN licensing fee amounts from the available official NH APRN initial-licensure evidence provided.
Processing time †
Could not confirm NH APRN application processing times/turnaround from the available official evidence provided.
Compact considerations †
The packet requires either “A current New Hampshire Registered Nurse license” OR “a current, unencumbered license in a compact state.” It also provides a NURSYS verification instruction if you hold a compact RN license, but the provided evidence does not confirm whether New Hampshire currently participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact.

Application requirements †
Could not confirm the NH APRN application steps/checklist details from the provided official snippets. The evidence only names the APRN initial application packet/label and describes required document types (RN license/compact RN, criminal record report, transcripts/education evidence, national certification).

License verification †
If you hold a compact RN license, the packet says you must register with NURSYS and provide verification of your original nursing license; it also states that if your original state does not participate in NURSYS, you need paper verification. Full instructions beyond this were not included in the provided snippets.

Fingerprinting and background checks †
Background-check details beyond the general requirement to provide “A Criminal Record Report” and a reference to “nursing-criminal-background-checkinstructions.pdf” were not included in the provided snippets, so details cannot be confirmed.
View source
Education and transcripts †
Education evidence: must have completed an approved advanced nursing educational program, including “over 225 hours of theoretical nursing content” and “480 hours of clinical nursing practice… and pharmacological interventions.” Final official transcript is requested; an alternative is attaching a certificate “before July 1, 2004.” If pharmacology is not reflected on the transcript, documentation from the program director verifying integration is required.
