Calling all MA RN's

Published

I'm a new BSN grad from Idaho and just moved back to MA. PCS flagged my app because my school didn't include direct OB or Peds clinicals, and my COG reflects that. No ATT issued.

I've reached out to MA BON, a hospital, and my school—but not sure what next steps are. Anyone else deal with this? Are there post-grad clinicals or refresher options that worked for you?

Your BSN program was in Idaho? 

If so - test in Idaho then apply for a compact license..

It was in Utah, I read somewhere that Mass will still make you prove the hours.

You took a program in Idaho while living in Utah?  
 

Either way, pick Utah or Idaho and take the test in whichever state will let you.  Then apply for a compact license.  It's not a matter of proving hours anymore, you'll be licensed from a compact state with a compact license which means you'll have an MA license as well.

If she has a Massachuset's address, I doubt either Idaho or Utah will allow her to apply for licensure.  And, if one did, she would have to declare one of them her primary state of residency to apply for multi-state privileges.
