Hello everyone, I'm currently a registered nurse in Virginia that is licensed in both Virginia and Tennessee. I'm considering taking a nursing job in NYC, but it appears there is a lot of red tape to go through in order to obtain a license. It appears that I have to complete a child abuse course, and have my nursing school fill out paperwork verifying my attendance. How long does this process take? It appears so much easier in other states. Has anyone out there gone through the experience of obtaining a New York state license? Any advice would be appreciated.:uhoh21:
