Confused whether to take California, Vermont or New Mexico NCLEX

[cookiequery]

Hello. I was advised by ms Suzanne to apply directly to New Jersey since that is the state that I eventuially want to work. But I'm also open to work in other state. However, others(friends) advised me to take the California board or New Mexico instead since it will take a longer time to process my application for New Jersey since they are still requiring the CES before I apply for NCLEX in New Jersey. As much as possible, I want to get it over and done with with my NCLEX exam. What do you think? Is it ok if I apply for California state board since I already have the application card and fingerprint card for California or take New Mexico? Is it more beneficial if I apply in New Mexico since it belongs to compact state or it doesn't matter if I apply on any state?Please advise......

Here is the link but try doing a search as there are a couple of threads discussing vermont and any other queries. Very easy to use the search facility and just use a keyword. You are also applying for licensure not NCLEX that is just part of the process. Suggest having a good read on this forum and I am sure you will find many of your questions answered

Hope this helps

There is also no such thing as reciprocity for licenses, that is why you will not see an application for it. Reciprocity is only for the actual NCLEX exam, it means that the score from that is valid all over the US. But you still need to go thru the endorsement process to the new state and follow the instructions for a foreign grad.
