Looking into Online DNP at Oral Roberts University. However, I live in WA state and State Boards may not accept educational requirements (See below) Is there a way to get the license at an accepting state and then get licensed in WA state?

Hi all! Is it crazy to transition to ICU right now? Should I wait until “after” the pandemic? 19 years of acute care experience and ready for something new. Thanks!

Thanks, kelseykelsey4! I will call the board tomorrow b/c my application apparently has "Missing Education History" - so perhaps one of the transcripts didn't make it somehow. I will also call the 2 hospitals I plan on applying to. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am a licensed RN in WA state and have found this thread helpful. I mailed in my application packet April 14th. I was able to do Livescan fingerprinting since we were in CA a week prior. The check for my application fee was cashed May 5th. My family will be moving to CA and the children start school August 22. So we are waiting on the license so I can start applying for work and then get rental housing. For those who have already received their CA licenses, did the Board send you an email stating that your license is now ACTIVE? Also, does anyone have any experience with submitting job applications while the license is still pending, or employers generally pretty strict about having an active license before they would even consider your application?
