The application process for nursing licensure varies among different boards of nursing in the USA, Canada, and Australia, typically taking 7-8 months depending on the specific board and evaluation steps. Some councils are faster, while others are slower. In the USA, there are around 50 state boards of nursing, each with its own regulatory body that determines the process.

After completing the CGFNS verification, you must register with the respective board and fulfill all their requirements. Once done, you will receive a link to register for the NCLEX examination through NCSBN. After registering, you will get an Authorization to Test (ATT), allowing you to book the NCLEX.
