Go to the NY Board of Nursing Web site http://www.op.nysed.gov/nursing.htm and look for information on getting licensed there, there should be information on becoming endorsed or obtaining a license even though it's not your home state, you don't change states you will keep your PA license, and as long as you renew it will also stay active.

Thank you for your reply, I went to the website but there is no info there about getting a NY license if you are already licensed in another state. H-E-L-P! LOL Thank you again!
