Hi everyone!! I was wondering...I moved to Arkansas from Cali to go to LPN/LVN school (its financially easier w/ a 2 yr old) Does anyone know if I can transfer my license from Arkansas back to California with no problems?? Thanks for any response:nurse:

generally, if you graduated from an lpn school in one state and passed the nclex-pn there and were licensed you should be able to get reciprocity (endorsement) of your license in any other state. the instructions for doing this are on the state board website. i believe you also have the option of just taking the nclex-pn in california if you are planning to move back here and just bypassing getting licensed in arkansas if you want.
