If you want to take the NCLEX in CA, then go to the CA BRN website and follow the instructions for the application. You have to apply for the license before a letter will be issued allowing you to schedule a testing appointment with Pearson Vue. You can look in the international forum for plenty of discussion about the process for getting a US license, if your original nursing license is from the Philippines.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Do you plan on nursing in CA once you passed NCLEX or stay and work in Alaska? If stay in Alaska then I would suggest you apply to the state and meet their requirements as a foreign trained nurse as you may still have to meet them requirements

Moved to the International forum as asking about application to be a nurse not how to study for NCLEX and remember you are not applying for NCLEX but to be a licensed nurse in the US, NCLEX is just a part of that process
