Living in Dc--working in MD

Published

Ok so this is complicated..

I am about to graduate from nursing school in Texas but have a TN driver's license. In July I will start work at a hospital in MD (compact state) but will be living in DC (non compact).

1. Can I legally live in DC and work in MD because I have no clue how to get a MD driver's license which I assume I will need to get a nursing license.

2. Would it be easiest for be to register for the NCLEX via MD or for me to just continue to process in Texas then apply to have it switched to MD.

No one from the MD Board of Nursing has responded to any of my questions and I am desperate for answers.

@Ellie G please could you share more light in the possibility of living in MD and Work in DC.

I am a foriegn graduate and have a new york licence but i am my family are intending to move to DC to engorse my license, but i learnt cost of living in DC is high compared to MD hence we are contemplating moving to MD. please what hosiptals are mire likely to recruit foriegn nurses? and what is the typical commute to most jobs in Dc from MD?.

Thanks for you input in advance.
