Thanks for your responses and stories. I knew I was not in a unique situation. I did call TN Board of Nursing and they said that they will hold onto my application until my transcript comes in (they have a special basket for incomplete applications). They said it would not be a problem. I ended up getting everything ready to send and it is there now! Hope it works out well for everyone else as well.

Okay, has anyone received their degree from another state and applied for their initial license in Tennessee? I am graduating from Washington State University in May and will be moving to Tennessee (Tri-Cities) immediately as my husband is already there. I have all the application materials and the Tennessee Board of Nursing wants the application sent with the final transcripts from the school. I talked with my school today and my transcripts will not be available until early July but they are willing to sign the application confirming I have been awarded the degree (but they say they never send the materials together, they will have to go separate). I will be calling TBofN tomorrow but I was curious if anyone had any experience with this issue. Thanks! Oh, I already have a job at Holston Valley Medical Center in the ICU and I am so excited!
