New Grad at school in another state

Okay, please redirect me if this has been discussed before.

I found out today it is a little complicated to get licensed for the first time in a state other than the one you went to school in. I will graduate May 22 and am supposed to start work June 27.

I have a few questions.

1. Which is the form on the TN BON for new grads first applying for licenses? I looked at several and could not figure it out. I found some for existing RNs wanting to move to TN but not the one for new nurses. Is it online?

2. Is it allowed for unlicensed graduate nurses to work in Tennessee while they wait for board results?

3. This is kind of related to the 2nd question, but how long should it take for me to get my letter to test after graduation since I have to send my transcript? Will it be feasible for me to take boards before I start my job??

Thank you to all of you with experience/insight on this, I would appreciate VERY VERY much any help you can give me!! My professors do not know much about other than the BON in this state.

There is no difference, just send in the documents that the application asks for. You will need a completed set of transcipts to be sent. So not sure if you are going to make it in time...............perhaps get licensed where you are now, then endorse???
