You should go to Nevada boards of nursing site, most of information is there:

http://www.nursingboard.state.nv.us/license/

I also included a site with licensure compact states (States that would honor a Nevada nursing license):

What do you mean by "How long will an NCLEX Nevada be valid?"

Good luck!

Moved to the International forum

You are not applying for NCLEX but licensure to be a RN in the US of which NCLEX is the final part of that process. Title of thread changed to reflect this.

As mentioned in above post, all requirements are on the BON website. For each state you want to work in you have to meet their requirements as a foreign trained nurse. Also suggest you read up on retrogression as you will be affected and currently depending on country of birth looking at 5 plus years. There is much to read on here and suggested threads are Primer to working in the USA, Retrogression and Nevada just use the search facility with keywords, very easy to use :)

how long would it take to process for the NCLEX RN in Nevada? approximately how many months until you were given the eligibility from the time you applied? thank you.
