I am thinking of possibly gettingan RN license in a compact state. Do you have to reside in that state to declare it as your "home" state. According to what I have read, declaring a compact state your "home" state you could tehn practice in the other states on the compact list. I will include the list below.
Anyone care to post what are the advantages and disadvantages in changing where your home state is? Thank you.
