I currently live in California and have my whole life. ive completed one semester of prerequisites regarding a nursing program, and I'm fresh out of high school. i'm going to a CC and am really looking to expand my horizons without going to a 4 year just yet. Simply, I'm looking to move to Oregon with some friends because its cheap and a change of scenery. however if i were to get my prerequisites done in Oregon, will nursing programs in CA accept me? And if i were to go to a 4 year out of state that isn't apart of the Nurse Licensure Compact, would i be able to return to California and pursue a career here? Nursing programs in California are so highly impacted, I'm looking to go to nursing school out of state. but want to move back to California when I'm older? would i be able to get a job?
