Hi I was wondering if I were to get my license in another state such as vermont, do I need to take the NCLEX in vermont? Or can I take the exam in Virginia and then just get license in vermont with evidence of passing the nclex? Thank you.

So I could take the vermont nclex exam while in Virginia? Will I be required to travel to vermont for any reason then if I just plan on getting my license edorsed by virginia after I obtain that? Also how long does the endorsement take usually?

The cgfns exam is not required? Is this for licensure with exam or are you talking about endorsement licensure?
