<p>I know that for licensing in NY/PA you can easily move from state to state. I have a friend who is graduating in May and looking for jobs down in Philly partly because of that, but also because they are in need of psychiatric nurses which is what she’s interested in.</p>
<p>But thinlizzy - Not all Catholic schools are like that! I go to a Jesuit college, and we are very gay friendly! Many of my friends are gay or bi…and actually, I even have a friend who is transgendered. Nobody really cares. My school is probably more than you would like (about $35,000/year including room+board)…but the nursing program is great, there are really good merit scholarships, and, if you sign a contract with the hospital that we do our nursing classes and clinicals at, you get a fairly large tuition waiver in exchange for working for them for 3 years after graduation.</p>
