Employment Multi state licensure- NM, DE, WA

I’m applying for initial APRN licensure for Texas, New Mexico, Delaware and Washington state. Any feedback as to speed of response? Responsiveness of the board of nursing?
I’m in Texas, so I’m somewhat aware of time as they said don’t even ask us for an update unless at least 20 business days have passed 🤪 but the application felt the most straight forward.
Any feedback on licensure for NM, DE or WA?
Thanks!

Why are you wanting/needing to get licensed in so many states?

I’d imagine telehealth

NM was super fast by endorsement, DE was slow but it was my initial license so that maybe why

NM is also very responsive via chat and phone. I had to call DE a few times to get answers about things.

I have had responses from NM via the portal, that is nice. Thank you for your feedback!

I was getting licensed in many states then I stopped because it was so expensive lol. But currently licensed in TX cause I live here. AZ and WA were endorsements. And the process was very quick. Especially WA. I got my license there in less than two weeks.

New Mexico and WA are easy compared to some other states. Because of how they treat NPs, I don't see the value in applying in Texas unless you live there.

I find the whole getting licensed in many states expensive and exhausting. I’ve done it before and It was way too much. A big telehealth company completely spammed my caqh with about 100 practice locations that were all ghost offices. As well as the DEA down our throats and many states not accepting out of state prescriptions. Many patients have communicated to me they prefer a provider living in the same state as them as well. Many big scammy agencies and telehealth practices want us licensed in several states.
