I'm sorry, I may have missed previous discussions on this Compact license pact topic. So may I ask what are the binding conditions for foreign resident nurses who got the US license let's say upto how many years max are we allowed not being able to do actual practice in US soil? Building up a clinical experience for 2 yrs minimum then processing the whole employmen-immigrtion process 1-2 yrs. If this time frame will be followed that'll sum up to 3-4 yrs before actually geting to the US. will it not affect the status of my US license? will there be no CME's required, seminar updates etc. I'm trying to get information thru the board I applied in. Passing the exam sure wasn't a breeze and actually acquiring the license may be a relief but it doesn't stop there does it? I got mine just recently and yet already have to pay for the renewal within 3 mos! Whew! Are US licenses that quick to expire? Hope you won't mind the lengthy story con query. God bless! thanks in advance if you would decide to respond.
