Would I have to get LA liscense first? or could I get a tx liscense instead? I could use my inlaws address, if that would work

Could I possibly use my in-laws address in texas to apply for one?

Hi guys. I have stalked AN for a while now and its time to post. Really looking for a lot of advice and direction. I am graduating in December 2020 with my RN, BSN at university of Louisiana at Lafayette. I am moving to the Houston, TX area in January 2021. I have seen a lot of “residency programs” posts, which isn’t as popular in Louisiana yet. I noticed a minimum GPA of 3.0 is desired. Unfortunately, being in school for almost 6 years, and going through many rough patches and a long journey of being accepted into clinicals; my GPA will be a 2.9. It is impossible for me to recieve a 3.0 with the amount of credit hours I have and will be receiving prior to graduation. Any advice on where to apply for these? I see that most don’t hire you unless you have that background. Second, I know we have the compact license now, but can anyone tell me the process of getting a texas license if I must get my license in the state I can prove my residency in. I don’t see how I could get a TX license right off the bat. I plan to take my NCLEX in feb 2021. Third, ANY ADVICE AT ALL I am desperate for. I don’t know where to even begin with this transition or how to even get my name out there, etc. best hospitals, job advice, etc. Please and thank you all. forever xoxo, Madison

Our clinical At ULLAFAYETTE has been canceled as of now. We are doing clinicals online using simulations, case studies, etc interacting with our instructors via zoom. They are doing their absolute best at assuring we receive the critical thinking experience and practice as we would in a hospital. Our hospitals will not allow us. They have restricted all visitors as well starting tomorrow.
