Sorry, I should have worded it better. I'm testing in Louisiana for a Florida license so that I can receive a compact license. Since I am not a resident of Louisiana, getting a license here means it will only be a single state license.

Thank you! The LSBN is closed today for a state holiday, but I will definitely give them a call tomorrow.

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help me with this, but I'm a military spouse who graduated in Louisiana but I'm a resident of Florida. Therefore, in order to receive a compact license I have to test in my state of "permanent residence." My question is will I be able to work in Louisiana before receiving my actual license since it's a compact state? Florida issues something called a graduate nurse status letter, but Louisiana issues temp licenses. I'm hoping I can start work on the 20th as planned, but I really don't know now. Hoping someone can offer some guidance or advice on the topic or maybe there is an exemption for military spouses. TIA!
