You can take the NCLEX as soon as your school submits their paperwork after completion of their program, you pay, you submit the required background check, etc..and you receive your ATT (Authorization to Test). "State boards" is a misnomer as the NCLEX is a national test.

Oh, and after all your ducks are in a row, you look at the schedules for the test sites in your area...then you schedule accordingly.

So I can take the NCLEX right away and then have my license once I pass?

Most people take at least a month to study before taking the NCLEX. Considering it's $200 each time you take it, you'll want to be as prepared as possible the FIRST time.
