Experienced RN (Canada) writing NCLEX

I’ve been interested in doing travel nursing in the States. I’m a Canadian nurse with 10 years of experience. I wrote my Canadian nursing exam before they switched to using the NCLEX. 
 

in order to do travel nursing, I would have to write my NCLEX. I’m just wondering how difficult it would be since I’ve been working as a nurse already. I know that I would have to do a bit of studying to get how the questions are worded. I don’t have a ton of time to study. 
 

Thanks

Hi. It wasn't too bad when I did it although I ended up with 265 questions. I used UWorld for 2weeks and it helped me understand some concepts I didn't encounter although, very extensive. One that helped me really is understanding the test taking strategies like the process of elimination.
