The nurse lives on the border of several states, and has accepted a job in a different state than her state of residence. Where should the nurse take the NCLEX-PN®?
1. In the state where she lives
2. In the state where she will work
3. Licensure in the state of residence if work state is part of the nurse compact
4. Licensure in state where she will work if it isn't part of the nurse compact
1
Rationale: The nurse should be licensed in her state of residence. If the state where she lives and the state where she will work are part of the nurse compact, nothing further need be done. However, if either state is not part of the nurse compact, she can obtain licensure in the state where she will work by applying for licensure by endorsement, and carry two licenses, but she must be licensed in her state of residence.
