Traveler,
I know that FL is one for sure, and have read of a nurse who tried to get licensed in NJ and was told she would need to be evaluated and monitored. I think that she had just recently completed monitoring in the other state...
While I do always remind people that all states are unique as far as their regulations and no state handles discipline or licensing the same,,, and it is also a fact that within any state, they have the ability to handle each case differently.
Yes, I agree that you need to seek answers from the specific state board, but in reality, you won't be given a clear response. I have spent a lot of time reading specific state regs, and never have seen where there exists a detailed or specific answer to your question... it is common for the wording to be vague and discuss in very gneberal terms the procedure for licensing when there has been BON intervention is another state.
It may be useful to review that states disciplinary actions from previous meetings to see if this has been addressed by other nurses. Seeking advice from an experienced administration lawyer would be your best way to find out but make sure that s/he has represented nurses and has in depth knowledgable about the BON
