Help! getting licensed in PA??

Published

I graduated from Seton Hall University in December 09, passed the boards first try in March 10, and have had trouble getting call backs from job applications. I've been thinking of getting a PA license and try to apply for jobs right over the NJ/PA border. Does anyone know the steps to get licensed in two states? I looked around on the NJ board of nursing website, but it was no help at all.

Thanks!

I'm from Ohio and I just got my temporary license in PA. Go online to the board of nursing in whatever state you need and look at their applications by endorsement. This allows you to license in another state than your original. If you need your PA license quickly they can give you a temporary license in 1-2weeks which you can work on till you get the real thing. I sent my in last week and I'm all ready approved online. It's pretty simple to do, it just requires some money and your transcripts (at least in PA, it could be different in other states).
