Can I work as a RN in another state while in PNAP?

Hello, I am a RN living in Pennsylvania but licensed in a different state. My commute is VERY long and this whole time I have been refusing to apply for a license in PA because I had a drug related issue with a license from another state in the past. I completed a program, but I am SURE I will be asked to enroll in PNAP if I do apply for licensure in this state. I don't have a problem with the drug screens. My question is, will I be able to work as a RN in another state while I am participating in PNAP?

Also, what is the average time required? 3 years? 5 years?

Thank you!

    I apologize, I don't have an answer for you, as far as being able to work in another state while in PNAP.  In all likelihood you will have to enroll in PNAP upon applying for PA licensure.  At least that's been what I have seen/heard others.  I never transferred my license into another state so I don't have any firsthand experience to go off of. 

    That said, PNAP is typically 36 months.   

     

    Good luck!
