Licensing in other States

Hello!

I'm graduating this spring with my BSN, and I'm trying to figure out when/how to apply to take the NCLEX. My issue is that I'm from Michigan and am applying to jobs in other states, but haven't gotten a job yet so I don't know which state to apply for licensure with. Originally I was going to wait until I had a job to apply for licensure (so I would know which state), but I recently found out it takes a long time to process everything, so I'm wondering if it would be faster to apply for Michigan, and just transfer my license to whichever state I get a job in? Just not sure which makes the most sense time/money wise...

Thanks guys!

    OK a license can not be issued until you apply to a state, sit and pass NCLEX so probably better to apply to the state you are training in and then once you have the license look for work and if in another state then endorse to new state.

    Hi,

    The best option for you is to take the NCLEX where you are currently residing and have the information transferred. I don't blame you for wanting to start searching for jobs early, it is a tough business to get into especially if you don't have any connections. Just be aware, there might be a fee if you get another state license. Good luck :)
