you will have to contact the BON in Virginia. They probably have an online site with downloadable forms, etc. Good luck in your new state!

Specializes in Med-Surg/DOU/Ortho/Onc/Rehab/ER/.

Good you are going from CA to Virginia.

CA is one of the states that is easier to transfer to somewhere else rather than the other way around...

Good Luck!

Specializes in Home health was tops, 2nd was L&D.

Call BON and they will get you going in the right direction.

Specializes in ORTHOPAEDICS-CERTIFIED SINCE 89.

What license do you have?

CA isn't a compact state but I have heard also that it is one of the easier ones if you have an unrestricted license.

FYI here are the compact states

Go down to the RN part- it has links to applying online (who is eligible to do so) and printing out forms (if that's what you need to do).

This link tells you what you need to do on the CA end, too.
