boards in california

[kcfox]

I was hoping that I could get advice on taking NCLEX in a state other than the one I reside in. I am from Indiana and will be graduating this May. However I am looking at out of state jobs, specifically in California. I am applying for residency programs in April and May, hoping to be accepted to one there. With that being said, I am indecisive about where to take my boards. I've heard that it is just money to transfer from one state to another, but wouldn't it be easier to get licensed in the state I plan to go too? I looked up the requirements on the Cali website and it says you do not have to reside there to be a candidate for testing there. Please let me know any suggestions anyone may have!!! :))

May I ask why you plan to move to CA?

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like the boards are flooded with people inquiring about California. I suppose it has something to do with the better wages you find in California.
