The official board
New York nursing licensure is regulated by the New York State Board of Nursing (Office of the Professions). That is where applications, renewals, endorsement, and official forms live. Requirements and fees are board-set and change, so we point you to the official site rather than list figures that could go stale.

Official vs independent
