So, I've been out of the nursing game for awhile. I'm now working in an ED, and I've realized I've forgotten most of what I knew about medications. I'm looking stuff up and learning as I go, but I'm tired of the piecemeal approach. Have you guys taken any online courses that focus on medications most often used in the ED?

Ned, being able to verify that you have a license, and the number, is all that you can do on the MBON website as far as verifying multi/single state privileges goes. It gives no other info. Of course there's another section to renew it online. To specifically verify that it is a multistate license, I had to resort to Nursys.

Thank you guys for all your comments! I appreciate your help! It turns out that my license already came with multistate privileges, the person at the travel agency I was talking to was just new. I also found it that it can be verified through Nursys if your BON, like mine, does not have a way to verify it online.

Hmm, I must have been unclear. I live in Maryland. It is my permanent residence. I don't have any other residences or addresses associated with my license. Do you guys have Maryland licenses? Do you have tips for the Maryland BON? And I'm not sure if I was clear, but I need advice about upgrading my license to a multistate license. In Delaware, a quick goggle search gives you the application to upgrade to multistate from your compact single state. Can you help with that?

Yes, Ned. My permanent residence is in Maryland, and I have a Maryland license. Maryland is a compact state. But my license is Maryland only, single state, rather than a multistate license, and travel agencies are telling me I need a multistate license specifically. Do you happen to know about the process for getting a multistate license through the Maryland BON? The website is not helpful.

Hi Ned! Thanks for commenting! I do live in Maryland, but after talking to some travel companies, they've made it clear I need a multistate license specifically rather than just a Maryland license. I'm having the darndest time getting that license - the MBON website has a section about it, but nothing about how to apply for one, other than just to apply through the board of nursing. Do you know more about that application process?

Hello there! I have been wanting to do travel nursing for awhile, but I am having the hardest time figuring out how to apply for a compact license through the Maryland Board of Nursing. The website is not helpful at all. Are there any Maryland travel RNs out there who can tell me what they did?
