Well, we know that California takes too long. So it means theoretically, if cringeguy is aiming for NY, then he can actually apply for either (or both) NM and Vermont. Then while waiting for the Eligibility, apply also for CVS for the endorsement later. After one month (?), he gets the Eligibility, take NCLEX, gets the CVS, and apply for endorsement. The idea is while waiting for the CVS, you can actually review, take NCLEX at the same time. -- As opposed to wait for the CVS first BEFORE taking NCLEX (in the case that you apply to NY directly). This is in a consideration that someone is in a hurry since I heard CVS takes timeeeeee to come out. Do I have a point? tee-ay
