I was wondering if anyone can tell me what states allow DACA students to take the NCLEX.
I live in WI, unfortunately they do not allow DACA student to take it here. I have read so many different things online. I even called the board of nursing in CA because I read online that CA does let you take it. California is so far from Wisconsin and the thought of having to leave everything behind to work as a nurse saddens me so much but at the same time the thought of not working as a nurse saddens so much too. I am wondering if a closer state would allow me. I looked at Illinois but there is no clear answer. Help!
