The better question is what state do you wish to live & work? Do you have work rights or will you require sponsorship? Are you experienced in a specialty area that would give an employer incentive to hire you over a local grad that does not require sponsorship?

You can apply to CABRN for a nursing license by examination as an internationally educated nurse but know 1. If denied, fees are non refundable 2. If you don't have a valid US social security number your application will automatically be rejected by CABRN

You may be okay given you graduated previous to the 2004 year where the vast majority of PH students and nurses are getting denied left and right.

However, the CA BRN does require a valid and current PH nursing license, it's listed on the application form.

You may be given 3 years to complete this, assuming you have the proper working SS#
