Re: endorsement
I definitely would not recommend CA for initial licensure, you will not get your license until you are in the US and have had a SSN# issued to you. If for some reason that you decide to work in another state, you will have issues trying to endorse to another state, it is very easy to endorse to CA.
Plus, you will need to wait about 4 weeks to get your scores.

I am moving this to the International Forum, where it is more appropriate. It doesn't pertain to American nurses.
