hi ashley19. the best way to get the procedure is to first know which state you would like to get your RN license because the process and the requirements may vary per state. then search the web (or allnurses.com, for the links) for that state's board of nursing. their own website will tell you what to do. through that, you get a first-hand information. after reading their process, if you still have some questions, log back in as most members of allnurses.com are willing to help you out.

decide which state you want to apply, work and live.

then go to http://www.ncsbn.org

click boards of nursing. you can find the website of every state there.

go to the website of the state where you intend to apply. read the instructions there and download the application forms. just follow the instructions then mail it. wait for your eligibility letter. if you are already eligible to sit for the exam, you can now register to pearsonvue (http://www.pearsonvue.com/nclex). after that, you're going to recieve your ATT (authorization to test) on your email address (if you provide one during the registration) or it will be mailed on your home address. you can print the ATT that they sent in your email address. what matters is that the name in the att should match the name on your ID.

if you already have your ATT, you can now see the calendar schedule on your pearsonvue account. available testing dates and time are indicated there. you can now schedule an appointment for exam. make sure it is within the validity of your ATT (each state has different validity period for ATT).

for more info read the nclex candidate bulletin

if you still have any questions,feel free to ask.

goodluck!

thank you for your replies, i'm glad i found this forum where i can get some help. If i already requested for the finger print card in a certan state (which i haven't received yet), can i still change the state where i would like to take my NCLEX?

yes...

Thanks kathykaye!:nuke: i'm actually having a hard time choosing which state to choose. I thought of California first but i heard that the cost of living is too high that's why now i'm having second thoughts.

thank you suzzane4. can you give me suggestion on which state usually gives the approval earlier than california does? i heard vermont is one, any other state? will i be able to apply for reciprocity if i wanted to use the license in a different state?

there is no such thing as RECIPROCITY you ENDORSE your license by following the BON requirements. If you are planning on living in CA then look for another BON but if you are planning on living in another state I would suggest applying to that state will make things easier when endorsing as each state has own requirements. With retrogression on at the moment there is plenty of time to do things

i just got my fingerprint card today from California Board of Nursing, i'm still thinking if i should apply NCLEX in CA. i read in their site that this cost $32 each, how should i pay for this if i decided not to apply with them?
