No problem! I actually don't. I'm sorry. I am looking to do the LPN to RN bridge program once I am eligible for tuition reimbursement through my employer. They offer it after one year. So I am curious too (if anyone has any input as well) I am in middle tennessee (Murfreesboro)

Hey. Yes I did. Actually been here since October. Started working here in February. Loving it here so far. And as an LPN, I am able to do so much more as far as actually skilled nursing work than I was in NY.

Seems like lots of people are in the same boat and looking to relocate for sure!!

Excellent!! I think what I was reading incorrectly was about the compact license then. As of right now I’m just looking to have my license in TN so I can work/move there. For now I’m not worried about the compact license as I’m worried about getting to TN to live and work right now. Thank you so much as well.

Oh wow! I definitely thought I read I have to reside in the state to have a license there since my NY license is not a compact one. Thank you.

Anyone? Haha. Thanks again.

Hello all. New here so thank you for giving me the platform to reach out for some help and advice. It’s greatly appreciated. So as stated above, I am an LPN in NY. I have been a licensed LPN since 2012. I am looking to relocate from NY to TN. Correct me if I am wrong but don’t have to reside in Tennessee to be licensed here as an LPN? I have been having issues with being able to apply for rental properties to live in with my wife and 2 children as these property managers want to either see proof that my license transfer is pending or that I am employed as an LPN in Tennessee currently. However how do I do that if I need to reside in TN to get my license to work there but I can’t get a job without an active nursing license in the state? Ya see what I mean? Like you have to work here for housing but have to live here to get a license transferred. It’s like one negated the other. Meanwhile all I am trying to do is relocate my family to a new state and give us a better life as NY has just become too much and I need a change. If anyone can point me in the right direction or help me out with advice, has dealt with this, etc. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much. It’s so confusing and frustrating at the same time.
