   malenurz replied to chachi1212's topic in General Nursing

   malenurz replied to adnKY's topic in General Nursing

   malenurz replied to GreatBrit's topic in General Nursing

   I had my original license in another state (not MO) but the most important consideration is being sure that you have all of your ducks in a row. Make sure all of your t's are crossed and your i's are...

10. New Graduate Liscense

    malenurz replied to GreatBrit's topic in General Nursing

    malenurz replied to RN1298's topic in General Nursing

    Amy12 - don't panic. Do you have your license yet, or are you still in school? It's tough to open doors when you're from o-o-s (out-of-state). It's not impossible, but... it can be challenging. If...
