planning to start licensure process to RN in the USA

jhasi · Apr 29, 2008

hello everyone,

I am planning to take Nclex.

Problem is I dont know where to start. All my friends don't want to take nclex yet and so I am on my own. Could anyone give me advise how to apply for the nclex? I am new to this and I don't understand some of the requirements because the situation is different here than in the US. I was planning for a licensure in California.

I already know the site and downloaded the .pdf file. Now, where to start?

how can i start applying for the nclex exam? what are the neede documents and how can i send an application to the californis state,,,,

I sort of need a time frame to study then take the exam. than study and wait for months for confirmation of exams until what ive studied are slowly slipping away and end up forgetting the essential infos.

Any advise is very much appreciated. Thank you.

helo, i was new in this forum, and i was planning to take the nclex exam, but i did not know how to make an aplication, please help me and guide me because i dont have any person here that can help and guide me..
where i can start to have an application and how can i get a california nclex form..

hi i would suggest other BON as California doesnt do quick results it would take 1 month for you to know and one thing is they dont give license unless you have SSN#

where do you actually plan to work in US?

Moving to the International forum, Plenty to read there especially the thread called Primer to working in the US. Would also suggest read up on California and retrogression as much has already been written on it

I have merged the 2 threads together that you have started. I have also changed title to reflect that you are applying for licensure to be a RN in the US of which NCLEX is part of that process. You are not applying for NCLEX
