Should nursing requirements be the same everywhere?

With the lack of nurses in the US shouldn't the colleges and universities make it easier for students to transfer. Personally my career is very important and I am having a hard time because my new husband is a soldier. So either I stay in Michigan for two more years and finish school or I move with him and get a whole new curriculum to follow (it will take me at least 3 years or more with this option). Shouldn't people be able to move without loosing out on so much time and money. If anyone has suggestions I am open to them!!!!

You bring up a real problem. Requirements can vary greatly from state to state. Within NC, the community colleges and universities are working very diligently to standardize curricula and requirements for a seamless transfer and integration from one institution of learning to another.
