I live in Ohio and am a new grad myself. In Ohio you must pass the NCLEX-RN exam and pay for an Ohio license. I don't know how it works in FL, but if you take NCLEX in FL, I think you should just be able to apply for an Ohio License. You might want to check out the website for the Ohio Board of Nursing. It is nursing.ohio.gov I hope that helps you get some information. Good luck.:)

Hello... I am currently an RN Nursing student in Tampa florida and am considering moving to Ohio next year once I pass my FL boards in May-June.
Can anyone tell me what I'd have to do to be able to work as an RN in Ohio once I move?
Would I need to pass Ohio boards in that state as well?
Can I work under a 3 month rule while taking the exam for that state (if needed).
I don't want to move then realize I can't work and pay my bills if I should have pursued the state licensing before I moved. Is that even possible... ?
Signed,
Confused and seeking help....
(any help is appreciated, i can do ther esearch if i can get a good point in the right direction) :typing
