License transfer question...need info please

Published

Hi everyone! Sorry I am posting this question here, but this has been the forum that I've been on for the last 6 months. I just recently passed boards and you all congratulated me about a month ago. Thank you for that:) Okay, now the job search is on....I have my RN license in the state of PA, but I'd like to apply for jobs in MD and VA...they are both compact states, which doesn't mean anything, since PA isn't one. If PA was a compact state, I could practice in VA and MD with no problem. Since PA isn't a compact state, if I apply for a job in MD and VA and end up getting hired, how do I get a license in that state? I will not take another NCLEX exam...good lord no. Can someone please help me find the appropriate resources to apply for licensure in another state? Also, is it appropriate for me to go on an interview in another state even if I don't yet have a license for that state? Please help!

Thank you so much,

Angie

Just go to the website for the state that you want, and use the application that is called "Licensure by Endorsement" and that is it. Just the form and money, and that should be it for you.

You never, ever need to take the NCLEX again.
