I tried looking for an answer to this, but haven't found one on here. If I did miss it, I apologize in advance...Here's my question:I am graduating from a SUNY school in NY with my RN in May. I am applying for NY licensure and to also take the NCLEX.After doing all this, my husband accepted a job in Atlanta that requires us to move there in August. I'm hoping my day to take the NCLEX is before then!What do I do as far as licensure? Should I apply NOW for a GA license? Do I need to have a current GA address? I will be calling the GA board of nursing on Monday. But wanted to see if anyone had any help/advice!Thanks! :)

I know someone who did this exact thing a few months ago and her GA license came within a week. She only had to go to the police station in NY and be fingerprinted for a background check....said it was easy! You don't have to have a GA address.I would still check with the GA BON just in case things have changed though. Good Luck!!
