Georgia graduate applying for Florida license


I am in my junior year of nursing school in Georgia. After graduation I plan to move to Florida and would like to receive my RN license there. Money is tight so I would like to make the transition from nursing student to licensed RN as quickly as possible and without a long waiting process. My questions are:

How long before graduating am I eligible to apply for a Florida license? Or do I have to wait until after I graduate?
Can a new Georgia graduate choose to take the Florida NCLEX and receive a Florida license? Or do I have to apply in the state in which I graduate from first?


Thanks for any and all answers. I went to the florida nursing boards site but these questions were still unclear to me.
