Do you have a CA license? If not then you can't endorse because you need a license to endorse. You will need to check out the BON website for the state (links can be found at the bottom of the page) and see what is required for Foreign trained nurse as that is what you will have to meet. Also you will need to apply for license by exam (if you have no license) and then arrange with CA to forward your NCLEX results

Also would suggest if still unsure to contact the BON and ask them what you need to do

thank you for replying... i passed the ca nclex but i dont have a license since i dont have ss number. my ca nclex will expire by august 2011 and i need to endorse it to another state before my nclex will go to waste and repeat the whole process of taking the exam. so i ask if it is possible for me to endorse my nclex to pennsylvania? how long will it take?

You need to check what are the Pennsylvania requirements for International trained and meet them. If in doubt contact the BON

As I explained previously you can't endorse because you have no license to endorse
