Compact State or not?

[Gottago]

I've heard that if possible, you should get your initial RN license in a compact state and not a non-compact state. Is this the better route? The explanantion I received is that if you would later want to travel, then getting the initial license in a compact state would be better since many states are in the compact.

However, I was thinking it really didn't matter where you get your initial license; even if you do later decide to travel.

Say you get a license in a non-compact state, then move to a compact state and obtain their license; don't you then get the benefits associated with the compact license? I don't see much of a difference in getting the RN license in a compact or non-compact state if you're not going to be traveling until you get some experience.

Shed some light if you can. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
