Re: Which State in US that does not require a license in other country to take NCLEX.
CA requires the local license and it is not waived for those that are green card holders here.
If you are wishing to work in CA, then you are going to need to meet their requirements, and you need to check with them if they will accept endorsement if you did not have the local license. They are getting tighter and tighter with their rules now.
NM and AZ do not require it at present, but they require the CES from CGFNS.
