Moving from Michigan to Pennsylvania

[lilysings]

Hi, my name is Lily.

I am a brand new graduate nurse from Michigan! I had a couple of questions and was wondering if anyone could take a few minutes to answer them. Thanks in advance!

During spring break (first week of march), I filled out my nursing applications forms for the State of Michigan. I knew that I would be moving out of state because my husband was applying to grad school around the country, but I didn't want to wait too long and be behind in any of my paperwork or fingerprinting details.

About the beginning of April, we found out he was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania! So we will be moving to Philadelphia this summer.

My question is: is there any way I can register to be licensed in Pennsylvania with the same test I will be taking in Michigan for my Michigan licensure? I understand I might have to pay a fee for this, but I wonder if this would be a wiser choice than waiting for an endorsement from the State of Pennsylvania.

Thanks again!
