Hello everyone! I am an RN from Jacksonville, FL. I graduated in December of 2007 and have been working since February. I have decided to move to New Orleans in the next couple of months.

I have an interview with Ochsner and Tulane both on Monday. I am soo excited about moving to a new city. I have always loved New Orleans.

I still need to get my license for Louisiana and am sort of confused about that. I don't know whether I should go ahead and apply for my temporary license or try to get my Florida one endorsed. I was told that to get it endorsed I had to have a permanent Louisiana address, which I dont have yet.

Anyway, I am doing this all myself, so I probably need some advice on choosing a hospital, housing, starting a new nursing job...and everything.

Basically, I just need some moral support and need to know that others out there have been through the same things.

Hi there, I am attempting to re-locate as well from FLA back to Baton Rouge area. I remember getting my LA nursing license in the past was not that big of a deal. Oschner and Tulane are both great as far as I can remember. Good Luck to you. I am lokking for a CRNA position which is not looking to good in LA right now.

I filled out the application for endorsement (NY going to LA) and am anxiously waiting. I did not apply for a temporary permit because that requires a LA address. I won't have an LA address until I work there as an RN, going to work at Tulane ASAP and they offer an apartment as part of the relocation package. All this waiting is making me nervous. Any advice?

i just finished my first semester of the adn program here in california. i know i still have a long way to go, 1.5 years more; however, i've been wanting to move to new orleans, fell in-love with the city after visiting it many years back. any way, my question is how does one commit to a transition from california to louisiana, is there reciprocity between the two states. would luv to hear your comments. thanks. m
