Attend nursing program in CA or AZ?

I'm an LVN grad currently living in CA, but planning on moving to AZ after I get married. My problem is that I'm torn as to whether I should get my RN in CA or AZ. Which is a better deal?

My RN prereqs will be finished this semester, and then I'll apply to an LVN-RN program here in CA. But wait lists are so long, I probably won't enter a program till late 2007 or even 2008. I heard there are rarely wait lists in AZ community colleges, so I can start the nursing program sooner. But then I'd have to wait a year to get AZ residency for cheaper tuition rates.

Also, I'm worried about the transferability of my license. What if I get my RN license in AZ, and decide to move back to CA, or vice versa? Would that be another problem?

I'm so confused!! :confused: Any advice would be of great help. Thanks in advance!!! (*I also posted this thread on the ARIZONA board*)

There is no isseu with endorsing your license to either state, but AZ does have wait lists as well. They just use a different process in some of their programs, but there are wait lists. Don't think that you will get in any quicker there.
