Getting a nursing degree in the state I live then moving out of state for a job. How does this work?
Asked by Juanito Sinco
I am from Florida and want to get a nursing degree in Florida. Then I want to get a job in Colorado. Must I retake the medical exame in Colorado even though I will have passed the exam in Florida. I am thinking baesd on remembering being told this. Thats The nursing exam differs from state to state or the rukes in the medical field are different in other other stats. Some states may have the same rules.
If anyone can help me out I would appriciate this. Someone who has done what I am trying to do would be best to answer my questions if possible.

Best Answer:
You didn't mention whether you were taking the LPN or RN course work. Colorado has a different application for each. Once you pass the state nursing board and get licensed in FL, you can be endorsed as an RN to practice in Colorado by filling out an application, and paying the fee. Most states honor nursing boards in other states with reciprocity (thanks to the nursing shortage.) Links for more information on Colorado Nursing Board. Good luck.
