Going to school in one state and moving to another right after?

[Dbohr1012]

Hi guys! Is anyone familiar with going to school in one state and practicing in another? I am currently in CA but my husband and I are seriously thinking about moving to AZ. I went on the AZ BRN site and this is what it read I wanted clarification, So I graduate and just show them my transcripts and I can sit for the AZ boards? Or if I sit in CA and pass then decide to move to AZ after do I retake my boards in AZ or is it an easy transfer?.....
