Question: does anyone have info about transferring an RN lisence from state to state? I am about to start an accelerated MSN program that certifies us as an RN along the way. I will not have a BSN but I will be a licensed RN after sitting for the boards next summer. What happens if I want to take time off and work in a state different than the one I am licensed in? I'll most likely be going to school in California. Any help or recommended resources on this topic would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone out there has some advise on this decision that I'm making. I've been accepted to both programs in the FNP specialty. I am interested in focusing on providing primary health services in low-income and immigrant communities and would like to go to a school where I will find mentors in this arena. I am also interested in alternative medicine. I've heard that both schools have a heavy emphasis on research and kind of "academicize" (I think I made that word up) nursing in a way that concerns me. I know about the basic differences between the schools -- the BSN and tuition reimbursement opportunities at Penn, the slightly older cohort at Yale...etc, but I'd love to hear any thoughts on making this decision! Thanks so much, Tanya
