Question on practicing in a state that you are not licensed in

Published

I work for a company that does health fairs and gives flu shots. I live in NYC within reasonable commuting distance to CT, NJ and Penn. The company has been asking me to go give shots in NJ and Ct where I am not licensed. I am leery of doing this. Are my fears unfounded or am I right to be concerned?

Is this company headquartered in Minnesota? I signed up with them in April, but I have yet to work a shift because they keep trying to send me to states where I'm not licensed. They've said it's okay, since "you won't actually use license skills."

No, it's in New Hampshire, but it sounds like they are all the same.

If it looks like you will have shifts for a while, have you considered trying to endorse your license to those states? Based on your posts, I don't know if it'd be worth it or not..just a thought

Yeah but at this point in time I am not sure it would be worth it. I would have to pay the licensing fees and there are CEUs that differ from the ones I have taken. The cost adds up. By the time everything would be said and done it would be after flu season was over.
