Transfer PMHNP

Published

How hard is it to transfer PMHNP license and associated licenses (DEA, etc.) from one state to another? I'm in California but planning on going to school to get trained in another state (closer to family) then moving back here afterwards. I just want to make sure that it will happen! Any advice is appreciated! Thanks

Im not a NP, but my best friend is a ANP and when she transferred states, it took like 3 months. I dont know if the process is different depending on the scope of state you will be in as well. Like she lived in a red state and transferred to a green state. I know California is a red state. Just transferring from NC to CA as a staff RN was crazy for me, so I would assume getting the DEA# and all that situated takes a good minute. Good Luck! ( btw she transferred from NC to NM then to CO & each time it was about 3 months for her)
