School in MA, license in CT?

[Cassara Casey]

Has anyone here gone to school in one state and got licensed in a different one? I go to school in MA but am considering getting my license in CT... wondering how smooth (or not) that process is

I did exactly that. Graduated in MA and moved to AZ two days later, took exam there.
Nothing to it. If you contact the CT BON online they’ll tell you how to get your transcripts sent to them and how to apply to take the NCLEX for them. Or you can get a MA license if it’s more convenient and then obtain CT by reciprocity— it’s not like a driver’s license where you can only be licensed in one state (I’m licensed in six). I don’t know off the top of my head if CT is part of the multi state licensure pact, but I do know that MA isn’t yet.
