Thank you!! That was a very good summary!

i'm a new grad nurse and i'm thinking about applying for jobs out of the state i'll be (hopefully!) licensed in. my question is this: will i be expected to have already applied and received licensure in the state i'm applying to work in before even applying to the job, or do most employers allow for a grace period once you're hired to apply for licensure in that state? any help would be really appreciated!!

I've also been considering taking the NCLEX prep course through Kaplan this June. I've actually read a lot of good things about them through similar threads and I'd be interested in hearing if those who've taken the course in the past year or two found it to be helpful or not and why (It's kind of pricey and I just want to be sure I'm not wasting my money!) Thanks!
