RELOCATION!

Any NPs relocated to a different state after graduating??

I graduate from FL with my FNP in 63 days (yes I have a countdown) and I plan to apply to jobs outside of FL in Houston, Dallas and Charlotte.

I'm unsure as to how I should go about this in regards to employment ?. I was thinking I should apply for the TX and NC RN license now (fortunately they are compact states) and while I'm applying let employers know that all I need is an NP license upon getting a job offer?

I'd like to hear your transition and experience to moving to a different state and if employers are hesitant about taking someone from a different state. Thanks!

Hi everyone I'm a new grad currently looking for jobs in south Jersey (I'm licensed in NJ) and have considered extending my search to the Philadelphia area. After reading this thread it seems the general consensus is that I'd have to apply for my PA license before any hospitals there would even consider me. Can anyone confirm this? I'm just wondering if there's a point to even apply for those hospitals unless I have that license in hand.
