LPN Changing States?

Published

Hello All. I was hoping someone could give me a little background information.

My mother-in-law has been a licensed LPN for a nursing home for about 20 years in the state of Missouri. Does anyone know what requirements she would have to go through to practice legally in the state of Minnesota?

We are trying to convince her to move up here to be closer to us but she needs a job? Can anyone give us some real advice? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if Minnesota or Missouri are states that belong to the nursing licensure compact. If one of those states is not a compact state, then your mother in-law will need to endorse her Missouri LPN license into the state of Minnesota if she desires to work there. Contact each state's board of nursing for more detailed information.
