Hi All I currently hold my RN license in NY state and will be graduating from a AGNP in December. I am hoping to get a job as an NP at my current clinical site after graduation. However, I don't plan on staying very long as my husband and I are interested to move to Oregon or Washington state. Before we settle down in a place I was thinking of trying to get travel RN or locum tenens NP work in either/both states. Any recommendations about obtaining RN license prior to graduating from NP school to make it easier (i.e. less paperwork/time to obtain) to obtain my NP license in those states? Thank you

Hi NYC-NP87 and BKLYNbaby, I also live in Brooklyn and graduate with adult-gero primary NP degree in Dec 2016. I am hoping to work for a bit here and then move out West and do some travel NP jobs or something where I may be able to move around a bit with my family and find a place to settle- interested in what it would be like working for insurance company and if it may fit with my starting out in NY and moving west-ward goal. Let me know how it goes thanks ashley

Hi All, I see this thread is from awhile ago but hoping to re-open it! I have worked as a hospice/palliative care RN for the past 5 years in Brooklyn NY and will soon graduate (Dec 16) from a primary care adult/geriatric NP program. My husband is from Ca and we plan to move out west (CA, WA but mostly thinking OR). My husband works for film industry and is able to bank about a year of health insurance before we go. We have a young toddler and hope to have another kid during our move. We plan to drive across country in our camper for a few months. Now I am thinking about doing a longer trip and working as an NP along the way. Or alternatively trying to get travel assignments so I can explore different places in OR/WA. Another option would be to take a travel assignment a hospice RN before we get to the West Coast. Hopefully I can find a job as an NP in NY for a few months before we go just so I can start in on that learning curve :) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
