Working in 2 states....is it even possible?

Hey everyone!

I primarily live in Chicago but I travel to Arizona at least once a month to visit my family, especially during the winter, and I really want to start working in Arizona. I already got my license in IL and AZ and I specialize in rehabilitation and ortho in chicago. SO my question is (1) does anyone else to this? (2) how did you do it?!?

Even if you haven't any advice and/or comments are most appreciative!!!!

I lived in CA for 7 years, I currently live in NC. At the time, CA only licensed by county & municipality, and maintaining my license would have been VERY expensive, so gave them up when I moved. I flew back to CA several times a year to teach for the first 2 years I lived in NC. I always had old clients asking me to work on them. Then, CA got state certification. I got mine even though I live in NC. Now, when I go back to teach, I can work on anyone I choose. Their renewal is $150 / 2 years. I maintain both licenses, and for me, it's worth it.

Most states do not regulate someone out of state working on their own family members. Not sure about AL, but you may want to check into that.

I live in the DC area but currently only have a Virginia Licenses as there is enough work this side of the river. I may eventually get a DC and/or MD license as it will give me more flexibility. I also have frail, elderly parents in Alabama so I have started the process to get a license there in case I need to be with them for an extended period. Problem is AL only reviews applications quarterly so it may take a while.
