I passed my NCLEX last 2008 but i just got my California RN license this 2013. I am now living in Las Vegas and was wondering if I still need to go through the same process as new applicants. I was hoping reciprocity will be alot easier since I already have my CA license. Also, it asks there when was the last time I practiced nursing. It was 5 years ago, when I was still in the Philippines. Does it matter? I hope you guys can give me advice. Thank you.

This is something you need to ask the BON especially as CA do their own assessment

Do ask the Board. And also remember that each state bases the applicant (endorse or examination) by their original education, not the latest state license.
