Hi and welcome to the site

I have moved this to a thread on it's own and to the International forum

Your starting point would be meeting requirements for the state that you want to work in, only exception is California as they destroy your file after 3 years if you do not provide them with a SSN which you can't get until in the US and with retrogression you are currently looking at a long time (unless you already qualify for a work/immigrant visa)

Links to the various boards of nursings can be found here Boards of Nursing

There is much information in this forum that will help you with your application process so suggest a good read and try the search facility. Remember you are not applying for NCLEX but application to be a nurse in the US NCLEX is just a part of that process
