Good morning,
I'm a 1st year SRNA in Texas. Some of the loans I'm applying for have grace periods after graduation before payments are due. One of the loans I am eyeing has a grace period of 4 months after graduation. How long did it take you to obtain your state license after graduation?
I have co-workers at my hospital informing me it will take around a year to jump through all the hoops of licensure. Has this been your experience? This will affect how I budget my limited financial resources.
Thanks in advance

It took me about 2.5 months to get my APRN license in Texas after graduation.

yep, 2.5 months in Ohio as well. That's about average for all my old classmates as well. 1 year seems a bit crazy.
