Need advice!

I am just accepted into RN program at 2 year school in New York State. This program is a top program. I want to move to CA as soon as I finish. My parents have died and I am going through a divorce. Have two daughters si here until they finish school so must stay in New York but I want to be in CA. Will it be a problem? I thought I'd just need to sit for the NClex in CA as well as in NY. Can anyone advise. If I need to work as LVN that would be fine. I understand no one hires recent grads anyway!

    Are you internationally educated? NCLEX is national you only take the RN or PN once unless you stop practicing for an extended period of time

    only those states that have explicit education requirements of concurrent theory and practicum will nurses have licensure issues.

    excelsior college new york nursing graduates have had same issue recently.

    these are states having concerns over concurrent theory and practicum, so i would look at other 37 states to obtain license:

    alabama

    arizona

    california

    georgia

    illinois

    kansas

    louisiana

    maryland

    north dakota

    oklahoma

    vermont

    virginia

    washington

    I think if you are educated in the US you will be fine. The problem is that there is a plethora of nurses right now and hospitals are preferring BSN grads over ADN grads. The surplus of nurses in California is one of the hardest hit areas....with about 47% of all graduates unemployed or underemployed.
