Thank you!

I graduate in feb. 2017 (5 months) and Im currently living in Missouri. However, my fiance has just moved to Seattle to start his new career. I'm really lost as to what to do as far as getting licensed.. the goal is to move to Washington with my fiance sooner than later. If i take boards in MO, Washington is not apart of the compact state deal which means: 1. id have to apply and pay for a new license for WA 2. it will take approximately 2 months to get said license 3. No one will want to hire a nurse who doesn't have a current license 4. I'm a new grad So should I take the boards in WA or MO? can I even take the board there? Does anyone have advice? anything ANYTHING would be appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hello! I graduate with my BSN in Febuary. I am currently a PCT/tech on a medsurg/renal/GU floor and have been for about 6 months. What are your opinions and advice as to me trying to go straight into any OB related floor (pre partum, post, L&D) right out of school? Do these specialties look for nurses with RN medsurg experience? or would they rather take someone new so that they can train them the way they want their nurses to work? any advice or opinions based on your experience would really be appreciated! Thank you!
