Obtaining License In More Than One State

Published

I know this question has been asked before, but can someone tell me what steps to take if I graduate in Florida in a few weeks, and want to have a license in more than one state? It's possible I will move to WI (or not), and am not sure how to ensure I am ready to go if the opportunity presents itself to move on the fly. Thank you!

However, you must maintain your permanent residency in the original state for your conpact license to remian valid. If you move from there, then it no longer exists for you and you will need to get a license in the new state. This was created for nurses who lived on the border between two states, as well as travel nurses, but if you move, then it is longer valid. Please reqad the rules very closely that go along with the compact license.

You may also be required to complete CEU's to obtain licensure in other states. I am currently licensed in PA and had to complete 30 ceu's, undergo a background check/fingerprint, and pay a fee to obtain licensure in CA.
