Lets start at the beginning. Please look at the International forum and you will get all of the answers.

You need to go to CGFNS website and have a Credentials Evaluation done first, this is called the CES. You also need to have the Visa Screen Certificate, these can both be downloaded from http://www.cgfns.org.

The application for Florida can be downloaded from their BON website. Be prepared that it will take you probably about four to six months before you will be permitted to sit for the exam. Florida will not do anything without the CES report in their hands.

Once you receive a letter from Florida that you have met their requirements for licensure, you can then contact Pearson-Vue at http://www.pearsonvue.com and pay for the NCLEX exam, as well as schedule your date.
