suzanne4, RN · Mar 2, 2006

hi...i'm new at allnurses.com....can someone help me regarding my nclex? i applied in nclex california last jan 2006, now waiting for my att; but now, i want to take the nclex arizona....how do i go about shifting to arizona nclex? help...anyone...please?:imbar

nclex is a national exam, it is one exam, there are not separate exams for each state. if you do not want to wait for your att from ca, then you will need to start the process from the beginning and apply to arizona. you cannot transfer any of the documents that were submittted to ca. the boards of nursing of each state are separate, and do not share this type of information. you will need to submit an application for licensure by examination to az. no other way.

Since you are also an International Nurse, I am going to move your post over to the International Forum. It is more appropriate there.

You are also going to need to get a CES done by CGFNS for Arizona.

thank you for your help...Will it not pose a conflict if I apply for ARIZONA while awaiting ATT from CA? Most say that Ca ATT takes forever to arrive that's why I want to take NCLEX Arizona. I have not paid tHE $200 to NCSBN, only the $107 to CA BON.My friends have told me that I can not apply in any other BON since I have an existing application with Ca...What do you suggest? thank you

The $200 gets piad to Pearson-Vue, you have old information. Pearson-Vue is the one that has been handling the exam for the past few years.

You can apply where ever you wish to.
