How to get a US Nursing License (NCLEX)

The basics on obtaining a US nursing License:

In order to receive a US nursing license, you must choose a state, complete the application and meet their requirements.

Each State Nursing Board has its own fee schedule and specific requirements (e.g. CGFNS, CES, TOEFL, TSE)
The time it takes to approve your credentials and process your application varies from state to state.
Please check with your chosen State Board to find out the specific requirements and details.
You can download or order the application for many of the Boards off the internet. Visit relevant State Boards for information.

All nurses must pass NCLEX before they can work as an RN in the USA.

The Board will supply you with an NCLEX application.
The current fee to register with NCLEX is $200 and you must indicate at the time of application which Board you've chosen.

You must have an ATT before you can to sit the exam.
The NCLEX exam can be scheduled anywhere in the US or it's territories and is offered year-round.
You do not have to sit the NCLEX exam in the State where you applied.
If you are a nurse from the Philippines, it may be difficult to get a visa to enter the US to take the exam. However, Guam and Saipan have fewer restrictions so many nurses choose to sit the NCLEX in these locations. Check with a local travel agency for information on the current restrictions.
At some testing centers the appointments go very quickly so plan to schedule your appointment early.
