Yes. I plan to move to Florida if I get a Licence there.

Then why waste time and money? Just apply to FL BoN and see if CGFNS considered your education equivalent and delivered with sufficient English language to exempt you from the demonstration of English proficiency requirements. If you wish to live & work in Florida applying to another state won't erase the FL BL requirements and it will only increase your expenses when you are trying to save money

Can anyone tell me which state does not require english proficiency test? I'm from Philippines a new BSN graduate. The English proficiency test is too expensive. I'm trying to save some money if there is a state that doesn't require english proficiency test for NCLEX-RN.

Let's consider you pass the nclex in a state that does not require english proficiency.. What are you planning to do next? Will you practice in that state or will you still endorse it in florida? Anyway, I know New Mexico & Texas does not require English Proficiency test for Filipino graduates because nursing program was given in english.

But if you are planning to endorse your license to florida after you pass the nclex from another state, I advice that you apply directly to Florida to save you time, effort and moneyðŸ˜Š
