Planning on moving to New Orleans

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello everyone, I’m planning to move to New Orleans this Summer, does any one know how long the license process is? And do I have to be a resident of New Orleans, before they look at my job applications? Also what are the best places to work at, I have been a nurse for 20 years. I’m currently living in Vancouver, WA. Thank you.

Thank you, I’m currently enrolled in the MSN with emphasis in Public Health, and I would like to work in this field.

When I moved down there (years ago) I couldn't get an interview while I lived in another state. That being said, I was not interviewing for a bedside nurse role, not sure if that makes a difference. There are 3 main health systems in NOLA, Ocshner, HCA and LCMC. I really don't know much about the health department, if that's what you're looking for public health-wise.

I don't remember the license wait time being absurd, but this was over 10 years ago.
