Tri State Nursing License information

[Prof Deane, MSN]

I will be taking my NCLEX in December and will be applying for my initial licensing in Florida. For years, hubby and I have traveled to NJ for the summer months and my boss at work in NJ is looking forward to having me as a nurse on her floor during the summer months that I am in NJ. Both hospitals that I currently work at are heavy seasonal employers plus I have 2 sister-in-laws who work in Philly and want me to come their hospitals. So opportunities are there for me in either state this upcoming summer.

I have heard that NJ has a Tri-State license (NJ, PA & NY). I have not been able to find out anything definative in either state BON.

Could someone tune me in about this process if it exists, websites, etc. Thanks so much.

PS: Thank you to all the Nurses who have answered questions during the last couple years. I have been able to search and find answers so many times when I had questions during my education. I know I have so much to learn once I get my license and look forward to learning more every day.

I haven't heard of a Tri state license however there is the compact license

Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC)

There's no such thing... Neither of these states are in the NLC.... So you must pay for each license in each state. Check with the BON websites...

Thanks, I had checked to see if NJ or PA was part of the NLC and neither was so off to their respective BON sites. Thanks all, thought this was too good to be true!
