Licensed in multiple states

Can you get licensed in both Colorado and California? I am going to get licensed for the first time in Colorado but also want a California license. How do I obtain the California license? Do I have to take NCLEX twice or just need to apply for endorcement?

You just apply for licensure by endorsement once you have the Colorado license.

Yup you sure can. I have my license in 3 states. Its really easy but can get expensive fast.

You can be licensed in however many states you choose, provided you pay the fees and keep up with the continuing ed requirements in each state.
