Doesn't really matter what state you take it in. It's the same exam regardless. All the best to you!

Depends where you want to work.

Maybe you can call CFGNS and find out,, or maybe search their website

I tested in Az, and found out the results in 22 hours. I took the test on a Tuesday, and had my license in hand on Friday. So it is pretty quick, but I don't know about all the other stuff (CGFNS ).

depends on where you wanna work..CA usually takes about 4-6 months. If you're lucky, your application will be processed in just 3 months. You have to inquire about your status. I applied for Vermont (they do not require the local boards)..my application was processed in just 2 months..and il be taking the NCLEX on january.. good luck to you! and God Bless!

You are applying for licensure, you are not applying to take the NCLEX exam, that is only step in the licensing process, and far from being the only one.

The question more important for you, is where are you planning to work? That should be guiding you and nothing else.............just because a state is faster in approving you to take that exam, it still requires that you endorse to another state where you will be working, and that can actually take you much longer.

And since this question pertains to foreign nurses and has nothing to do with the actual exam, it is being moved to the International Forum where it is more appropriate.

consider where you want to work....

You are actually waiting for your eligibility and not ATT. No ATT will arrive until you apply in Pearson Vue.
