RN endorsement from CA to expire

[jensfbay, BSN, DNP]

My family and I recently moved from California to Seattle. My CA license doesn't expire until 4/2013, but according to WA State, my RN WA license (endorsed from CA) will expire in 3/2013. My family and I might go back to live in CA in 2 years. Should I just go ahead and keep my CA license and let my WA RN expire and get endorsement again? or should I go ahead and go through the WA state process of keeping my license prior to its expiration? Thanks!

I would keep both licenses active. I know for WA if you let it expire there's extra money you have to pay. CA may have that too. To me, it's just easier to renew both online and keep both active.
