So I am soon to start at Charity School of Nursing in the Fall as an advanced placement student. I will be in school for 3 semesters, basically. I was just curious if anyone had any information on applying for a license in another state after graduating. Should I take NCLEX here & then attempt to transfer my license? Should I work for a year here in New Orleans before trying to move? Would an out of state hospital be more likely to hire a graduate from an out-of-state school if they have some experience under their belt? I'm very on the fence; I don't want to make the move and then have a difficult time finding a job. I am under the impression that most student-nurses here in New Orleans have a job lined up prior to graduation. I'm not sure if i could apply to a job out-of-state before graduation. I know this is complicated. I'm honestly just looking for some honest advice/opinions on moving & obtaining licensure right after graduating. Has anyone ever immediately moved post-graduation?

wandering off ..as in getting stolen. lol. mine was stolen 2 weeks ago. i'm so sad.

I applied for the PN program for Fall 2015, I just got my acceptance letter last Tuesday. I'm so excited to get started! I believe my profile score was around 90 or 95. You're not alone in wanting to do the PN program, I wanted to do it first as well. For me it's important to get out and get some experience + I also need to make some money. My plan after graduation is to work for a year or two & then apply for the lpn-rn bridge program. good luck! :)
