A nurse has relocated to another state and wants to find a full-time nursing job. What action should be taken first in order to provide care as a nurse?
a. Begin applying for jobs at the local hos-pital.
b. Contact the board of nursing in the nurse's new state to obtain licensure to practice.
c. Begin practicing immediately, as the nurse is still licensed in the formerly lived in state.
d. Begin practice on a part-time basis so that a new license is not needed.
B
The nurse should contact the board of nursing in the state the nurse just moved to in order to de-termine what needs to be done to obtain licensure to practice in that state. The nurse should not begin practicing without an updated license even on a part-time basis. Each state may require a new license, and the nurse will not be covered by a license issued in another state unless the state is part of the nurse licensure compact. Either way, the nurse will need to contact the board of nursing first.
