Epidural's post in New Grad RN Compact License Question was marked as the answerYes, if you have a New Jersey compact license you can work in Florida with that license. Once you establish residency in Florida, you are required to apply for a Florida license (either compact or single state-whichever option you prefer) and give up your New Jersey compact license. So you can:
Have a New Jersey single state license and a Florida single state license Or a Florida compact license Or a Florida single state license Some people don't like paying the extra fee for a compact license; I don't think it is really that much more money.
And, if you haven't gotten a New Jersey license, it is perfectly OK to get a single state Florida license. Personally I think it is a great idea to get a compact license as there are now 38 states and 2 US territories in the NLC.
