Terra, The link you posted is great btw! I still think it's just so confusing for a military spouse though! NC is my current residence, but not my permanent and like I said I still have a TX license, my car is registered in TX, etc. I get my nurse bulletins shipped to NC so the BON has my current address here in NC. I just don't know. That's why I say I guess I'll just do whatever the hospital here wants to me to do.

Thanks for the info Terra! Holly, I haven't done anything yet. When I worked here in NC before, I just worked on my TX license (since they are compact states) and no one said anything. I had left a month before having my son and now that he's 18 months old, I've decided to go back. I applied a few weeks ago to the same hospital, but things here move so slowly!! The first time I worked there, it took me 4 months to get hired on! So I guess I'll just see what the hospital wants me to do this time, but it is going to be a huge hassle if I have to change my driver's license, etc to obtain a NC license (not to mention pay all the crazy fees). Especially since TX is our permanent residence, our cars are registered there and we plan to return in 2013 :/ I'll keep y'all posted though.

Oh and I wanted to add I've called the TX BON a couple times about this issue and it seems every time I get a crabby person who only gives vague answers and really doesn't seem to know how to answer my question since I'm a military spouse.

Hi, This is my first post here and I'm not sure if it's in the appropriate place but here's my question... My husband is in the Marine Corps. Our home of record is TX, which is where I'm licensed. I still have my TX driver's license, but we own a home here in NC and have lived here for three years now. My question is should I apply for a NC license even though NC and TX are members of the compact? If I did so, would I have to relinquish my TX license, would it be considered inactive or can I have two licenses at once? ' Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm looking to going back to work after taking 18 months off when I had my son and just want to get all my ducks in a row. Thanks in advance!
