Licensure Decision to Make

Hi all, I'm a GA Excelsior student about to graduate with ASN. Exploring options on sitting for NCLEX-RN for SC, NC or TN due to hassle to obtain GA licensure. My nursing background is outpatient urgent care - assessment, I.V., phlebotomy, wound care, IM injection skills, etc. Concerned that I may be required to do preceptorship in GA and many Excelsior students are running into a brick wall finding facilities to do same. Any GA Excelsior grads who've obtained licensure elsewhere and are working in a hospital in any of the aforementioned states? Thanks for any input.:)

    Which one of these states provides the fastest turn around time? That might be useful info to search for here, if anyone has posted about it.

    So far it looks like SC is pretty fast on the licensure. It appears I can do a walk-through and obtain licensure the same day if all of my papers are in order. I will definitely dig deeper on this issue. I just don't want to find myself hung out to dry if I'm unable to find an approved GA facility to do a preceptorship. I can handle commuting out-of-state for a year if it means I can later do reciprocity with GA. I am also checking into opportunities at federal facilities as I can use a nursing license from anywhere in the 50 states. It would be nice to actually live full-time in my home in GA, especially since my husband will be staying in GA. I'm very fortunate to have such a supportive husband.:)
