You have to prove your education meets California standards and will have to sit for the exam. Are you a US citizen? That may also be an issue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of changes have happened in 20 years so I wouldn’t be surprised if you are required to take up some sort of refresher course. Which ever state you apply to will have requirements and you will have to meet them before eligibility is given to sit NCLEX 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan 16 by Anna A 2 Posts; 49 Profile Views Yes, I am US citizen. I did apply about 10 years ago but I had a personal problem and stop the application, I have all my documents, my school sent the application to the board and my transcript were translated in English but due to personal issues I stop process. I also took an refreshment course here (10 years ago) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
