Hello to all RNs and NPs out there,

Im JD, current TX RN/BSN licensed and im interested in any online FNP program that fits my situation the best. It can be in Texas or any other compact states ( Im thinking of UTEP, Graceland, and Frontier University) or if you have any suggestions, I am thankful for that. Due to family issues, I might have to relocate to Kansas State in the next 6 months or so, but KS is a non compact state. So if anyone can help me out by answering or clarify a few questions:

1. What would be the process of obtaining RN license from KS since TX is a compact state? Does it mean I will have multi-license from 2 states? (I am planning to work in KS while doing online program)

2. I have heard that when I am done with all the FNP courses, i can register to take the NP exam at the state where i will be working at the time (Kansas), is it true that I can do that?

3. Does anyone know if I have to take any extra tests or board certifications in order to work in KS as FNP? I heard KS has strict regulations on these.

Please help me out. i really Appreciate your time.

JD
