Is it relatively easy to take the California State license/certification and travel to other states? When I was learning about the licensing process I was told that certain states had reciprocal agreements with other states (like with drivers licenses). Does California have such an agreement ?

I know this thread is a bit old.....but I did list the states that are currently (as of December '07) Compact License States. They are listed in the State Forums. Hope this helps, Duncan!

California is NOT a compact state, so your California license is not transferable to other states. If you google "nursing compact", the first site that comes up shows a map of all the Nursing compact states.
