Tn licensure

[stsaz01]

I have several questions about applying to NCLEX and RN-licensure in the state of Tennessee. I am currently attending 4 year school in pennsylvania, and will be graduating in about 6 weeks. I have requested an NCLEX out of state packet from the Tennessee state board of nursing.

My questions really are, what can I do before I graduate in order to speed this whole process up? And is being at an out of state school going to lengthen this already tedious process?. I have a job lined up already and will be starting my position as an Extern again in May until I pass my boards. I would ideally love to take my NCLEX mid to late june. Is this an unreasonable goal? I appreciate any and all advice. Thank you!!
