NCLEX in NC or CA

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I'm currently in school in NC graduating in May. My husband is AD military and I will be moving to CA when I finish school. One thing that is up in the air for me, is where to take the NCLEX-RN exam. Could some one please give me some advice. I know CA isn't a compact state with NC. I know I can take it anywhere in the USA and apply for licensure in another state but I just need a clear understanding I guess.

-Thanks

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Up to you but would probably go straight to Ca if that is where you are going to be working hopefully

Thats the same thing I was thinking but I was looking forward to getting my Quick Results in NC, I heard CA doesn't do that. But hey that's okay I'll just pull all my hair out those two weeks (j/k).

Apply for the license through CA if that is where you plan to be working in a short while. You will be adding expense and aggravation to endorse your NC license into CA if you get the NC license first. JMHO
