Pennsylvania now in the Nurse Compact

[emtpbill, ASN, RN, EMT-P]

Hey all,

 

  I have been an RN for almost 4 years ago and was super stoked when I heard that the governor signed the law for RN's and LPN's to join the national compact.  Finally on July the 7th PA nurses could apply for a multi-state license. They are making applicants get a Pa. state police background check again and also get FBI fingerprinting , again.  Had to send a copy of my drivers license and a signed Pa. residence declaration.

 

    I know that when I finished nursing school I had to get my local state rep involved to , what is the polite way of saying, lighting a fire under the *** of the state to get my ATT letter.

  Anyone else started the journey in Pennsylvania to get your Compact license?
