   That's super exciting! I was actually supposed to start Monday as well, but getting Illinois to transfer my license has been a bit of a process to say the least. I always get so excited to hear about others being able to start in the specialty they w...

   UPDATE! The quickest way is to do the process how I did it. Private message me if you need assistance! She is seriously a ray of sunshine in the behemoth called IDFPR.

   Well, I am an atypical case, but my license was posted today. I will tell you what happened. I had started paperwork with Wisconsin for endorsement because I had a job prospect in Milwaukee. I was then offered the job in Iowa so I needed to start th...
