Just want to ask.. Is it possible to take the NCLEX RN for California in New Jersey? and would my requirements prior to taking the exam reflect those of the california board? I came from an international school, and the requirements prior to taking the board exam for new jersey is somewhat harder to accomplish compared to the california board.. thanks for you your answers :)
