Out of State Nursing Program

I have no idea if this is the right category but here it goes.

I am from NJ, and I am looking to transfer to my first choice college I wanted to attend all along which is URI (University of Rhode Island). It has a great Nursing program and I wanted to go there after HS but I didn't get accepted because I was *that* student in HS. Anyway, I got accepted into URI and I really want to attend there, but I just realized... when/if I finish the Nursing Program there... I live in NJ, would I not get a Rhode Island License? Or do I come back to NJ to take my NCLEX and get my license here? Any knowledge in this would be appreciated, because I just realized this.

Thanks in advance!

    The NCLEX is a national exam so you take it wherever you want. So if you plan on working in NJ, you can take your NCLEX there after you graduate. Hope that helps!

    Start looking up whether you can apply for licensure in NJ or if you will have to do a licensure by endorsement. You can take NCLEX anywhere. It's through Pearson Vue testing centers. I finished my paramedic in another state and took the equivalent to NCLEX for paramedic licensure in my state.

    ohhhh I thought it was like the same exam, but after you passed it you earn a license in that state. Thanks you guys!

    You can apply in any state for license by examination If you intend to live & work in NJ you would apply directly to NJ for license bye examination. The application contains information as how your school verifies graduation & requirements/courses. & clinicals completed

    You can take the NCLEX in any authorized Pearson testing center. The results will be forwarded to your BoN.
