Hi,...... Nurses

Does any one know if North Carolina has reciprosity? Can I exchange a NY RN license for a NC license and if so how long does it take

Do you have a region of NC narrowed down? Other posters have made good points regarding the wage differential. The cost of living is a lot lower here than in NY; there are a LOT of Yankees moving here for the same reason. And if there is a nursing union anywhere in NC I haven't found it yet!

Even if you are not in a "compact state," it should be no big deal to transfer your license. I did a licensure by endorsement from Colorado; just a background check and a few bucks. It took about a month.

What's your specialty/main area of experience?

Don't get me wrong; I love it here. The weather is great, the cost of living is relatively inexpensive, and the job market is generally good especially if you're willing to temporarily compromise a little to get your foot in the door. But it *is* growing like crazy because a lot of people like you and me are discovering it.

Feel free to PM me if you need more specific info!
