Applying for license

Hi all

I am currently an LPN and will be graduating in few months with RN when applying for my licenses I live in PA and go to school in New Jersey and I want to have a New Jersey license for the muliti state because I plan on moving to Georgia when done school and don't want to wait, as with pa is not a multi state licensure. Is it possible to just get a New Jersey license, instead of PA?

You must be a legal resident of the compact state in order to be granted a multistate license.

PA has partially enacted the NLC, and will allow nurses with multistate licenses to work in PA under that license. They are not yet issuing multistate licenses to PA residents.

If your legal residence is PA, you cannot have a NJ compact license - it would be a single state. If you are moving to GA, apply for a GA single state license and once you move, apply for the compact license (as long as you graduate before PA is issuing multistate licenses). If PA fully enacts the NLC and is granting multistate licenses when you graduate, you could apply in PA but you'd still have to endorse to GA once you become a legal resident there. If you have no plans to work in NJ, applying for a license there is just throwing money away.
