Welcome to the site

Have changed title name as not applying for NCLEX but licensure to be a RN in the US.

Please take the time to read this forum as much has already been written on the different states and their requirements. You need to decide which state you want to live in and apply there although we do not recommend California for initial licensure and much has already been written on that. Suggested starting point would be the sticky Primer to working in the US, you also need to be aware of retrogression so suggest searching and reading up on that

The search facility is excellent using keywords
