Hello all. New here so thank you for giving me the platform to reach out for some help and advice. It’s greatly appreciated.
So as stated above, I am an LPN in NY. I have been a licensed LPN since 2012. I am looking to relocate from NY to TN. Correct me if I am wrong but don’t have to reside in Tennessee to be licensed here as an LPN?
I have been having issues with being able to apply for rental properties to live in with my wife and 2 children as these property managers want to either see proof that my license transfer is pending or that I am employed as an LPN in Tennessee currently. However how do I do that if I need to reside in TN to get my license to work there but I can’t get a job without an active nursing license in the state?
Ya see what I mean? Like you have to work here for housing but have to live here to get a license transferred. It’s like one negated the other. Meanwhile all I am trying to do is relocate my family to a new state and give us a better life as NY has just become too much and I need a change.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or help me out with advice, has dealt with this, etc. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much. It’s so confusing and frustrating at the same time.
No advice here, but I was thinking of doing the same, Moving from Massachusetts to New Hampshire or Maine! I'm glad to see that I can get the license before moving and being able to have a job before moving. Thank you!!
