So I went to school in KY but took my NCLEX in CA. The NCSBN told me that you can literally take it anywhere in the country but just register with the state board you want your license to be for. I wanted to take it where I could get it done the fastest, whether it was in Kentucky and endorse, take in KY but register for CA, or just take in California. If that makes sense...

Totally, that makes sense! So you determined it would be fastest to just register and take the test in California?

So what I did is I registered through the board of California before I graduated. Since I was out of state, I did the finger card and sent it in. I sent in all required documents and then I went through my school to send my transcripts once "degree was awarded.” Those went out about a week or two after graduation and I got approved like a few days later. The longest was the fingerprint card. But if you're in the state, do the live scan as it's immediately. So long story short is that I started a few months before graduation since I had multiple transcripts to send it. Unless you're in a compact state, I'd recommend to go through california if you're sure you want to be here. If you're in a compact state, I'd personally recommend do that and get it endorsed and take advantage of that. I kinda wish I did that. 
 

I hope that kinda helps!

This is SO SO helpful, thank you for all of the info! I just registered today so I'm officially getting the ball rolling, and I'll make sure to do the livescan fingerprinting in CA!

I have a question for the preceptorships did you guys put it under the portion where it asked for work experience and you added it like a job, or was it just added to your resume?

I was looking at my application and noticed that a couple of days ago the job title changed from new grad residency to specifically saying grossmont ED (my top choice). Not sure if it means anything though.
