I have a hx of a suspension with completed probation NOT related to diverting or anything drug related. That's why I'm posting here vs the recovery topic.
My license is completely unrestricted and I've been off probation for a year now. I've been working in ER (as an RN) for the last two years. Was in ER for 6 years prior to the suspension.
I'm looking to move states, either CO or TN or SC.
Do other states give licenses to someone like me or is it pointless and I'm stuck in my current state for the rest of my career?
I looked into Indiana and they won't give a license to anyone with a prior discipline in the last 5 years. But it's hard to find information for all the other states.
Anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Tips and tricks?

I can't speak for the states you listed but here was my process:
1. apply for the new state nursing license you want by endorsement
2. submit the documents and paperwork for the new state license
3. complete an essay stating your side, how you have grown, learned from the event that took place, etc
4. wait for it to be approved. after my license was unencumbered again I got a new state license (other than my home state) and made it compact. this new license has no history of suspension and is issued clean and unrestricted
