Question 11 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

An emergency room nurse moves from one state to another state. Before looking for a new job, the nurse should

Answer
A
start school all over again to earn a license in the new state.
B
update her address on the nursing license from her old state.
C
find out what the licensing requirements are in her new home state.
D
ask the state department of health to let her practice without a license.

Explanation

Nursing licenses are issued and regulated by individual states, and requirements can differ from one state to another. Before applying for a job, the nurse should check the new state's licensing rules and determine how to obtain authorization to practice there. Moving does not automatically require repeating nursing school, and she cannot practice without the required license.
