Here's the info for international applicants:

Board of Registered Nursing - Licensure by Examination

You would have to meet the same educational requirements that California requires in order to take the NCLEX. I knew a person who was educated in Mexico (she was an LVN here and went there to do her RN). Unfortunately she never was able to pass the NCLEX although she met the requirements.

That's the only information I have. Hopefully someone can give you more information.
