Thank you for the replies. FLmomof5, I currently live in Massachusetts. If I pursue a nursing degree I would do so in MA, but I am planning on moving out to California (eventually). I have contacted both state's BON and haven't heard anything from either. I may call/email the school I plan to attend, my guess is they have dealt with these situations before. If I hear anything relevant I'll certainly pass it on. Thanks again for your comments.
