Hi Everybody: I am a foreign educated Nurse (India) married to am American Citizen. I would like to take the NCLEX-RN exam from India. I am applying to the State of Vermont as the they require the least formalities to get approved to sit for the exam. I really want to practice in NY but I heard that the State of NY takes a long time to process the paper work for the test. I would really like all of your help in answering a few of my questions.. 1. Can I simultaneously process the paper work for the State of Vermont and NY and write the test at the first possible State?? Atleast can I do the CVS by CGFNS simultaneously. 2. If I get licensed in Vermont can I transfer my license to NY ?? 3. Do I have to work in Vermont at all before transfering my license??? 4. How long does it take for the state of Vermont / NY to process the paperwork from scratch inorder to allow me to take the test?? Thank you for all your replies in advance With kind regards, Pravasi.
