Which route from point A ....?

Published

Long story....worked as a Paramedic 15 yrs then earned my nursing degree and passed NCLEX in 2012...stayed home, had kids, homeschooled ...yada yada. Since I moved in 2022 I need to bring my license over to my new state as I would like to work as an RN either ER (or IV clinic as Im old and not sure the ole back can handle ER).

My BON gave me a few options since I have not worked as an RN: A)return to the state that currently holds my license work for 80 hrs as an RN (seems challenging to find temporary work as an RN with no experience). B) return to the state that holds my license and volunteer as an RN for 80 hrs (there is a Community Health Center that allows RN to volunteer, or C) take a refresher course and complete 180 hrs of clinical time.

Anyone care to share which route they would take and why? Thank you!
