New Grad Licensing

[Keeghuntsman]

I am graduating in August and I recently accepted a position in Washington State. I was wondering if there was anything I could do prior to graduation/PANCE to speed up the state license process? Has anyone on this forum recently gone through the application process and know how long it is taking? The hospital that hired me said the process seems to be moving quicker than in the past so I am hopeful that I can get licensed and start in October. Any advice on the process or dealing with the WA DOH will be graciously accepted. Excited to move to the area and start practicing.
