So I am currently licensed in my home state in CT. Looking to explore the possibilities to switch to work from home positions or even mail order. From your experience what are the top states to get licensed in to secure a job requiring multistate licensure? I am thinking at least having 2 or 3 more states adding to the list

So...a bunch of states where it's really hard to get a job in?

Yep, but that answered the question, if you work at a mail order, you must first possess a practice license in the state where that mail order is physically located, so might as well start on it...There's exceptions to that general rule as you imply but you start somewhere.

And no, the irony is not lost on me either. I'm surprised there's not more TX ones and that they don't set up shop next to the USPS sort facility at Fargo or Boise as pharmacists come cheap there.

NY and MD also should be included, I forgot about them.
 
Look into which states require the PIC to be licensed there in order to ship meds into that state.

I know Oregon is one of these and there are a handful of others.
 
Oh I loved playing that game. I almost got them all! Only the PIC of the facility is required to be licensed to where they're shipping.. Everybody else only has to have the state they're working in.
 
Found a link stating that these are the states requiring nonresident PIC licensing:
Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
