Question Surrendered license...moving out of state

Hello everyone...Hoping someone has some nifty info on this subject. I voluntarily surrendered my R.N. license 3 yrs after being placed on restriction (such an idiot I was) I live in MS and will be relocating to another state...which one...not sure. Does anybody know if a license can be reactivated (knowing I will be on restriction again) if I move to another state? Anyone encountered this? Any info GREATLY appreciated....have a great week all!!!

I have seen people here in California who surrenderd their licenses or were revoked in another state who are on probation here . I think you have to have your case reopened in your home state then transferred to the state in which you currently reside!

Not sure how this all works but contacting the state BON where you currently are would be a start!

Good Luck

Don't forget that the State BON's are listed in their respective State Forums here on the site.

Re: Surrendered license...moving out of state

Just a word of warning to you first...
when i was in nursing school we were required to go and watch a bon hearing in my home state. ANd there was a girl that that had her license suspended, and she was in recovery for 2 years, she requsted from the board to have her case moved to OK so she could work there, she moved there as well. Well, to make a long story short, she didn't bring any "proof" with her that she had been recovered for 2 years, and the board ended up revoking her license permantly instead while she was there.
