Moving from Compact to Non Compact State..HELP!

Ok, well I'm thinking about moving to Oklahoma which is a non compact state from Missouri which is... but I don't even know where to start! Does anyone have any experience with this? How do I go about applying for a new license and how long does it usually take? And also, what if I decide I want to move back to Missouri?? All replies are extremely appreciated

the application process is not affected by whether or not the state is compact. Contact the OK BON for directions on how to apply. It will be a matter of paperwork and fees. If you want to work in OK before the license is approved, then you need to ask if they allow a temporary license.

Yes, start by finding the Oklahoma board of nursing's website and their instructions for endorsing an out-of-state license.
