Specializes in OR, Nursing Professional Development.

If you visit the website of the BONs for those states, you will find a list of programs approved by the BON. Ensuring the school is approved by the BON ensures that you will be permitted to take NCLEX in that state. It's a place to start.

You need to consider cost vs benefit of the excess fees associated with private vs public schools. Plus whether the education is equivalent if you move back. Not all PN programs are equal between states especially relative to scope of practice
