I'm finishing up an accelerated BSN program in Philadelphia in May and will take my boards shortly after. My concern is whether to initially register for a NJ license, since that's originally where I'm from.. and then apply for an Arizona license.. since it's harder to transfer a license to a NJ one. I'm only thinking of getting the NJ license for the future in case I need to move back. However, I won't be moving to Arizona until August, so I would have time between getting my NJ license and then applying for an AZ license. Or should I just initially apply for an AZ license and the NJ one later? Also, since I'll be a new graduate.. how have you other new graduates gone as far as applying for residencies vs. a regular job in the hospital? I'm debating about which one to pursue, although I could just apply for both..
