Moving to Vermont

I'm moving to Vermont from Alabama in a couple of months and am trying to sort out which things I should do first to get my nursing license (RN) quickly. I'd like to start some things ahead of time if possible. Any advice would be welcome. I'll be living near the New Hampshire state line and might have to work there, so I'll probably have to get licensed in both states. If anyone has had any experience with this I'd like to hear about it. Thanks in advance!
