Transferring a nursing license or taking 2 NCLEX tests?

Published

I have a question, I'm not a nurse yet but whenever I become a nurse, I was thinking about moving to Texas from Louisiana. Would it be better to transfer my license or take two NCLEX test?

NCLEX is a National exam (that's what the N stands for). There is no need to take it more than once for a practice with the US.

NCLEX is a national exam. You need to apply for licensure in the state you want to work in.

You would keep your La. License and apply for reciprocity by endorsement in TX. Znd then you would have s license in both states. You do not "transfer" prt se a license.
