Which State to take NCLEX?
Consider the time, documents to submit, the requirements or test to take before your NCLEX exam, the efforts and money are the things we have in mind.
To help you decide...
Here are some States you may consider.
1. New York- your license if good for a lifetime except on some conditions..
Though it requires CG credential verification
2.CA- takes time to reply and process because of the volume of applications they are receiving.
Only require SSN
3. Idaho -SSN, CG cert or education verification and English Proficiency
4. NH- SSN, CG report
5. WA-SSN, CG cert., TOEFL or IELTS
6. Michigan- within 2 yrs upon graduation you must pass on 1st attempt
3 attempts-NCLEX review course required
After 6th times of trying to pass and if Failed consider other states
Please like or make a comment if it helps you.Thank you!

That all depends on the state. Some require sitting the exam within a certain time of graduation
Yeah that's my concern because in the state that i have inquired they need me to redo the whole nursing program. í ½í¸ž
