Re: hi! im new here :)
And if you are anxiuos to sit for the exam, do not go the route of licensure in CA initially, or you will be writing the exam and getting your results, soem time next year. You have to apply for licensure and have your credentials evaluated, you cannot take the NCLEX exam without permission from a state to do that.
CA is currently four to six months to get approval, then a two month wait on average in SE Asia to get an appt, and then another month to get your results. Definitely would not advise that, but it is your choice.
