Clarification Please?!

We only need to take the dreadful Nclex RN once ever in our tire life right? Once we pass, that should be it?? It shouldn't matter if its a compact or noncompact state right? I will be taking my exam in California which is a noncompact. Then I will work in Arizona which is a compact state. This process just requires paper work and no retake of the exam, RIGHT??

Thank you for the clarification.

I think I know what it means, but I can only think of how to put it in an example :p

If I take the NCLEX in NH then the license is also good for practice in ME, VT, and MA - thus it is a compact state

but in CA (apparently, i don't know this first hand) the NCLEX there is only good for CA and no other states.

Hope this helps!

However, you can become licensed in Ca from another state by endorsement. I hope that helps you.
