New grad here! I'm a career changer, former biology teacher with a BA in Biology, now have my BSN, and passed NCLEX in Nov.2013....Applying, applying and more...and NADA! I've my PA license and have been looking near Philly area, I know silly, NO LUCK. From the many posts on here re: GN job outlook is that relocation is a big probable...? But when applying to multiple states, do you need to apply for the license prior to applying? Seems a bit costly and wasteful w/ $$$...and I'm broke :) It seems many apps want that license # on app or want proof that you are indeed applying for said state's license. Thanks for your advice!
