				  evidence that the applicant has completed a nursing education program in any
				  state or territory of the United States or has completed a nursing education
				  program in a foreign country and holds a certificate from the Commission on
				  Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools. The applicant must also be eligible to
				  take the National Council Licensing Examination in this or any other state or
				  territory of the United States or has applied for and is awaiting licensure by
				  endorsement from the board. Each applicant for a temporary permit must submit a
				  set of fingerprints on a standard card provided by the board for the purpose of
				  obtaining a state and federal criminal background check through the Division of
				  Criminal Investigation. An authorization and release form must be signed by the
				  applicant authorizing the release of the criminal history record to the board.
				  The fingerprint card, authorization and release form, and fee for the criminal
				  background check must accompany the application for a temporary permit. A
				  permanent license may not be issued until the criminal background check is
				  complete.
The fee prescribed by chapter 20:48:06 must be filed with the
				  application. The holder of a temporary permit must use the title, registered
				  nurse applicant (R.N. App.) or licensed practical nurse applicant (L.P.N.
				  App.), whichever pertains. If the holder is notified by the board that
				  licensure by endorsement or examination has been denied to the holder, the
				  permit is invalid on the date the notice is received by the holder, and the
				  holder must immediately return the permit to the board. The holder of a
				  temporary permit issued awaiting license by examination shall maintain on file
				  with the board a current statement providing the name and address of any person
				  or institution that employs the holder during the period the permit remains in
				  force. The applicant awaiting license by examination and the applicant awaiting
				  license by endorsement as a licensed practical nurse may practice only under
				  the supervision of a licensed registered nurse on duty in the area where the
				  holder of the permit is working. Beginning February 16, 1994, the temporary
				  permit issued to the applicant awaiting licensure by examination becomes
				  invalid upon notice to the applicant of the results of the first examination or
				  90 days following the date of issuance, whichever is earlier.
