If you failed 3x why wouldn't you want to take the refresher class to increase your chances of passing on attempt #4? The statistics show without a refresher class your chance of passing attempt #4 is

But it can cost $400 to apply in another state plus finger prints and background. $200 for Pearson plus ~$200 or so for the licensing application.

Some states permit NCLEX prep classes such as Kaplan or hurst which are ~$400.

I agree with the previous poster. You'd literally just be tossing away money trying to pass again without a refresher course. Find a job as an aid and save up for the refresher course and the test again.

Take the course, the NCLEX is the same test in every state, you're not going to magically pass because you went to another state. You need the course. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Any way you look at it you are going to have to remediate until you pass the NCLEX. It is unfortunate that now you have to save for the course, but that is the price for 3 failures.

I agree with all the previous posts. I think you should take the refresher course.
