RN License While Living Abroad & Not Working as a Nurse

[GBRKG122]

Hi Everyone!

I thought I'd ask you before looking into each individual state's RN license requirements here in the U.S.

I'm finishing up my BSN next month and am planning to move to Mexico. I'm planning to teach and will not be working as a RN, but do want to take my boards & obtain my RN license. I know the process for maintaining a RN license can become expensive and time-intensive with CEUs and contact hours. Wondering, if anyone had any suggestions about which state's license requirements were the most user-friendly since I won't be actively using my license to practice. For my individual situation, seems like the best way to go is: the one that is the least expensive and without a required amount of clinical hours worked as a RN.

Muchas Gracias :)

P.S. I promise I'm not trying to *take the easy way out,* but rather making sure I'm being realistic given my current career goals. Keeping my license in another state may make more sense.

I actually just found this great resource: State Boards of Nursing | Contacts and Requirements

Additional, info is warmly welcomed! :) Also, wanted to include the weblink in case there are others out there who want to live abroad, might not practice as a RN, but would like to keep their license.
