Can you apply to multiple BON's at once?

Published

I'd like to work in a compact state like Texas, Montana or Idaho, but I'm not sure I'll meet the education requirements (I'll probably lack clinicals in paed/obst, gynecology, psychiatry, geriatrics and community nursing). I'm not sure of what the educational requirements for these states are, but I know some states are more lenient. Would it be possible for me to apply to, say, Texas and NY at the same time so that if Texas refuses to validate my credentials I can still work in NY? Also, I wouldn't wanna go back and forth to my school and hassle them to send basically the same emails over and over again to different BON addresses cause the previous one refused my credentials, so would it be possible to just do it all at once and have my credentials sent to like 10 different BON's in one go?

By the way when I say applying to different boards, I don't mean for NCLEX, but for CES or CVS in the case of NY, so that I may save time and have a higher likelihood of applying to a state who'll accept my credentials straight off the bat.
