Good Morning!

Well, afternoon really...

Seems my body has had enough sleep and I am up.  About to get ready for work.  I've got two shifts in a row, then a four day stretch off.  So more adventures are planned!  That is a tease, so one will come back and look at the pictures and descriptions of my upcoming rides...

My primary nursing license is from Arizona.  Arizona is a Compact State, meaning there are about 20 other States that will recognize and allow me to work as a nurse in that State.  Likewise, any Federal Facility will recognize my AZ Nursing License and allow me to work.  About a month ago, I started the process to obtain my first Nursing License in a non-compact State.  Last week I was granted my first non-compact State Nursing License.

It's a process.  There's the application, then fingerprinting/background check, verification of nursing degree, fees, letter of endorsement from your home State, etc. 

Now I have the ability to travel to yet another State and work, and being licensed in that State makes getting a license in the surrounding States just a little bit easier.  It's strategic!

Somewhere in my mind, I have this plan.  I have a goal to ride through every one of the 48 contiguous States.  Perhaps not all at once, not even working in each, but just to visit each and every one.  I also have an idea of my route planned, if I end in the Northeast, to ride through Canada and make it up to Alaska!  Of, course that is tactical... gonna have to watch the seasons/weather to get the timing just right...
